California Adventures...

Peter and I took a trip down to San Diego from the 7th - 16th to help my pops enter the next 1/2 century of his life in style. We had a great time acting like tourists!

Tuesday we went to Disneyland:
Dellas and Peter waiting for "Honey I shrunk the Audience" to openOh, Dellas will be so glad that I posted this!
Serious stuff
Peter and I waiting in line for the haunted house at Disneyland (which I might add used to be MUCH better than it is now!)
A not-so-centered self portrait of us 3 @ Disneyland
Friday we went on a bike ride downtown San Diego... 15+ miles!!! Crazy.
My sweet hubby
When we were biking down by SeaPort Village, one of the commercial fishermen was unloading his bounty for the day - He had a bunch of shark, ahi and another fish I can't remember just now...
USS Midway - Permanently docked in San Diego and converted into a Naval Museum

Saturday - Dad's Birthday Photos:
Table centerpieces - we used a cowboy theme
Uncle Phil had this mesquite firewood bar-b-que hand-made for Dad
Uncle Phil brought up an amazing buffet! We had carne & pollo asada tacos with all the fixin's!
Dave wrote a great song about Dad and the rest of our family... I just love how he and Ron frame that metal sculpture on the wall! (Mom's playing the piano behind them...)
200 years of life experience in this photo! I'm so glad Sam and Mary were able to come!
Amy and Rob came too!!!
What a lovely family we are! ;-)
The week went by lightening fast - but it was SO great to have all our family together! And we surprised Dad so GOOD!
(Mom has a more detailed write-up on her blog of all the festivities...)
