They arrive on Southwest from MCI on Friday, a tad after nine A.M. After acclimation time the six of us headed for the Getty Villa for a 2pm appointment after an intermediate stop in Santa Monica for a walk along the beach north of the pier.
Casey and John joined us for a wonderful dinner @ Casa Sanchez, which, in addition to a fine menu, provides outstanding entertainment of the mariachi variety by the Sanchez family members and talented friends.
The next day the sun was hiding BUT that didn't deter us from pool time in the adult pool. Then to Casey and John's, where Cassie had moved in, for playtime. The WII provided us with bowling and tennis.
Then a foot tour of the canals of Venice before returning to #322 for a pizza feast in midafternoon. Peter and Timmy then left us to go to Dodger Stadium for the World Baseball Championship game between South Korea and Venezuela. The former was victor 10 to 2.
The rest of us went to UCLA for a UCLALive concert by Monica Mancini and a very talented group of her musician friends....lots of Mancini and Johnny Mercer music, including Moon River.
Sunday morning Cassie departed for D.C. Her time with us had been wonderful but all too short.
The rest of us went to the Rose Cafe for a brunch with Olga and Mike Stangl as our guests. Mike reported on his golf of the day before.... a 38 on the back nine at Santa Anita Golf Course. His career round there has been a two-under-par 33!
We had a quick tour of the Santa Monica Farmers Market and then returned to #322 to watch the March madness of the NCAA playoffs.
Bowing to the weather we went to see Julia Roberts in "Duplicity", an entertainment, before ending our day at The Counter. To heck with calories.
We had one last family meal at IHOP this morning before Barb, Peter and Timmy departed LAX for MCI and Janet went into laundry formation. It's very quiet here.
