Monterey

Last month my granddaughter, Emily, came down to visit us for a week. She lives in Washington State. How I envy friends who are able to see their grandchildren at any time. We tried to make the week special. We took her to 6 Flags Animal Kingdom. We watched shows like you can see at left. Her grandfather "Papa Dale" and Emily watching the sea lion show. She loved it. We had as much fun watching her as the show. We took tons of rides. And got very wet.

The following weekend, her Auntie Kara, Uncle Jason and I took her to Monterey. I had as much fun watching Uncle Jason (single) so enjoying the rocks and tide pools of Monterey and showing them all to Emily. It was a special time and I would have loved to have spent longer down there. It isn't far from us. Why don't Dale and I go down more often? I guess because we have a vacation home in Tahoe and spend our free weekends up there. But it was fun going to the coast. I used to live on the coast in Oregon. It took me back.

We also got to see our other granddaughter celebrate her 2nd birthday. Little Miss Katie is two. She is Emily's younger sister and it was such a special time for us to have them with us.

Granddaughters are very special, I think.
