Easter Weekend 2005...Oh the Memories!

It's now Monday night and we're finally back in G-dora after a very nice Easter weekend. It's been awhile since I've done an update blog, so here we go...

Friday night we had an amazing dinner down in the OC at Uncle Bob and Aunt Laure's with Jeff, Steph, Caleb, Ben and Becky (aka the computer guru). After watching the Spartys (yes, the bandwagon rolls on) take down the Dukies (ask Jeff about my prophetic score prediction at halftime ala a homerun over the left field stands at his bachelor party), we dined on some incredible grilled salmon and had fun catching up. Saturday the Lampi crew came up to the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) for a traditional leisurely Glendora stroll to a local coffee shop, then on to Rubios for some killer Mexican grub.

We hit San Diego after Easter service complete with Alan's references of the band Korn being at his wedding (another story for another time). Great cookout in San Diego with the Aldrich's. We stayed a bit longer today and took Harley for his first glimpse of the Pacific. We went to Del Mar beach where dogs were allowed and got lot of laughs watching him run towards the waves before the crashed and the dart as fast as he could away so as not to get his paws wet. He must be my dog! Eventually, he did get in when Abigail waded up to her knees and he could no longer contain his excitement and pushed through his fears! We had never been to Del Mar before and it was so serene and picture perfect. We hiked a bit along the cliffs above the crashing waves and found a bench where we sat and just soaked it all in.

We're now back home...I've got the rest of the week off and Abigail is back to HH tomorrow. Looks like Jeff is well on his way to another NCAA Tourney victory. Just call him the Swami. All he needs is a UNC victory over who? Oh yeah, the Spartys...guess that's a conflict of interest. Much love from SoCal. Look for an upcoming feature spread on a certain local intruamural team. They're back in action this week! Cheers!!
