I am still celebrating my birthday! Ann and I spent the day in Balboa park. We had lunch at the sculpture garden Cafe at the art museum. Ann always charms our waiters. I wrote your name on the table cloth.

We rode the park trolley and saw an exhibit in the photography museum. And outside we saw SANTA CLAUS!

Then on to Encinitas for coffee and we stopped in Carlsbad for a walk on the beach and the sunset. All on a sunny 79 degree day. life is good.

birthday week

We decided at the last minute to take our birthday party to Disneyland! Wish you were there. We went on Space Mountain 3 times! Everything was decorated for Christmas and Christmas music was playing. At night, after the parade, big machines blew out pretend snow. We folks in Southern California get pretty excited about that. But I am looking forward to seeing REAL snow in Washington soon.



Wednesday, I helped Auntie Jessica buy her new (old) Dodge Van. I forgot to take a picture.

Sunday, was a ride up to Mount Laguna to a spot where the hang gliders jump off. You can see one of them behind me.

This week school is out. I'm having fun doing some Christmas shopping! love grandma
