Our summer officially started when my sister, who we haven't seen in ten years, and her hubby, billy and son, Julius arrived from PA. So, you could see our excitement and theirs, too, especially Julius who already felt at ease with us when Gino and I met them at the airport on June 28 afternoon. The following days started with late night talks of catching up with have happened to us both thru the years. The next day was a swim in the Carlsbad state beach, a lunch at In N Out, strawberry picking at the field near the outlet and dinner at home and more talk.
Next, they did the California Pass of four amusement parks, with Mabelle driving my van on the following weekdays. Parks like Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, San Diego Zoo and Sea World on the 4th of July. They were back shortly for a swim at our common pool and another outside dinner at Hawaiian Ohana resto and a meal at El Toritos. I'm sure they had a great time as sure as we did in hosting them. They deserved the break cause after this they will again be busy with their lives.
July 4th, we had a small bbq and chat time at our patio while watching a televised Macy's Fireworks Display in NY. Another sightseeing followed the next day to the harbor and the pier. They left on July 6th and it was another sad day for us and the same for Julius who said he'd like to stay behind. Hehehe. The cutie really love his stay with us. But, that departure was replaced with joy again with Kuya's arrival from Brasil. Abangan ang susunod na post ko or mga post na darating.
