No major miles these four days, just family time.  Friday we spend with two sisters and their families.  That night our son and his girlfriend flew in.  Saturday we all went to In-n-Out Burger in Carlsbad and took over two outdoor tables.   It was cold (for CA) and gray, but it was fun anyway.  That night we had the party for Poppy.  He was surprised and we all enjoyed ourselves.

On Sunday we had a brunch for our son for his 25th birthday.  Sixteen people at the Beach House in Cardiff by the Sea.  We brought cupcakes from Cupcake Love for dessert.  Monday was more family time including a city-wide black out in the evening.  Our hotel had power via a generator so the nephew and I went there and zapped pizza roles in the microwave before they went bad in the freezer.

Overall we’ve been having a great time, but eating too much of the wrong kinds of food and not getting any real exercise.  Tomorrow we start the drive back to Seattle.  We’ll take at least two more days going back than we took coming down.

It’s been a great trip so far!
