Posted on Sep 16, 2012 in Family

Tomorrow is Tu’s Birthday.  Her sister flew all the way out from Vietnam to be with her on her birthday.  Her sister has a beautiful voice and put this song together for her sister Tu for her birthday.

We answer the question.

Can you fry an egg on the sidewalk in La Jolla today?  We answer the question in the following video experiment.

Rin in the Salty D

Posted on Sep 15, 2012 in Family

At long last, Tu’s sister Rinnie arrived in San Diego and we are so happy she arrived. Everyday for the last two years, Tu say’s everyday how she wishes her family was here and yesterday it happened and her sister came in. Tu has really not stopped smiling since she came in and we have been busy showing her the sights and the beautiful place called San Diego.  We have been going through a heat wave here in San Diego, and since Rinnie and Tu are from Vietnam it certainly feels like home here.

Rinnie hopped on a bike in the morning.  She doesn’t have a license to drive a bike and so she ended up going off the road and almost went directly into the Pacific Ocean as you can see from the pictures.


Well nevertheless she picked up riding the bike just fine and managed not to break any bones.  Good job Rinnie.

Where do you go after you rode a bike on the beach and you are ready for something new in San Diego?  Well you head back over to another beach.  That’s just the San Diego way.  So we headed over to La Jolla Cove beach to check out the seals.  We didn’t see any seals, but we were up for another surprise while we were there.

 

So the big surprise for us, was that Rinnie decided to go swimming with all of her clothes on.  She had her scarf and everything on and just jumped right in the water.  We were yelling, “Rinnie, don’t go in the water with all of your clothes”.

 Well, since she was already wet, she decided to lay out on the beach to get a tan.  She spelled her name out in the sand so people would know it was her place.  But then another wave came, and go her all soaked again.  That’s the thing about waves – they just keep coming.

Well it was a fun day.  We saw lots of nice things and most importantly, Tu and Rinnie got a chance to spend time together in the place that Tu calls home. Nice day and more to come so stay tuned.

Summer Goodbyes

Posted on Sep 3, 2012 in Family

Labor Day, the first monday in September has come and with it summer says it’s last goodbyes.  Kids go back to school, and the streets of La Jolla get a little less crowded as the tourist season ends.  The only way to really celebrate Labor Day is at the beach and with a BBQ, and we did both.  It was a beautiful day and somehow it doesn’t seem possible that summer is ending when it really felt like it just begun.

Geno laughs as we sit under an umbrella at Children’s Pool. The water was warm today.

Danny on the beach. He had wanted to take Geno to Children’s Pool for a long time.  Geno was frightened to go in the water today. Maybe next time.

Geno relaxes on Camille’s lap in his hipster shades thinking about all the great times he had this summer.

Summer is about breaking out the hose and shooting each other with water.  That’s the way it has always been.

There is something about getting sprayed by a hose on a hot summer day that is even more exciting than jumping in a pool.

So refreshing and so cooling.

 What could get more perfect than the sound of an ice cream truck rolling down the street. Ice Cream Sandwich time.

So tired.  What a fun day. Goodbye summertime.

Hello Cutie Pie

Posted on Aug 28, 2012 in Family

So she has spent the last 3 months on the beautiful island of Catalina with her mums and pops enjoying her first summer.  Every few weeks she makes a very grand helicopter entrance back to San Diego to say happy hello’s to her friends, family and admirers  Of course I am talking about the young and adorable Isabella with the smiling eyes.  She made a grand entrance to San Diego this weekend which was a smashing success.  Just as quickly as she arrived she was gone – whisked away back to her Island in the sun for her last days of her first summer.
