Visit from Chelsea & Anthony

We have been very lucky this summer with lots of family and friends coming through San Diego to pay us a visit. This past weekend, Chelsea and Anthony came for a short trip after spending a few days in LA, arriving Saturday morning and leaving Sunday night. They made it just in time on Saturday to accompany Dylan to Connor's swim lesson, and then we all ate Mexican takeout during Connor's nap. After a relaxed afternoon, we cooked pork chops, sweet potato fries and collard greens and enjoyed dinner, and hang out time together.


We turned in early to get ready for the La Jolla End of Summer Fire Run that Dylan and I did on Sunday morning. The start of the race was in La Jolla, and the finish line was just a ten minute walk from our house. Anthony drove us to the start, and then Chelsea, Anthony and Connor all walked together to the finish line to meet us. We took a leisurely walk back home, stopping first at the end of Crystal Pier to watch the surfers and seals. Then we continued home along the boardwalk where we got to show off the live pig at the Law St. yoga class, something that we are sharing with all of our Sunday visitors this year. After brunch, it was siesta time. We put Connor down for his nap, then I got on the computer for a minute, turned around and the whole crew was asleep on the couch and floor of our living room - awesome! The afternoon consisted of play time and shopping/strolling/ice cream time in La Jolla before heading out for dinner at our favorite hole-in-the-wall Pho restaurant on Garnet Ave. It was Connor's encounter with Vietnamese food and he appeared to be a huge fan, stuffing his face with beef, chicken, tofu, shrimp, peas, carrots, corn, noodles and even a mint leaf. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals too :)


Once we got home it was time for Aunt Chelsea to take a dip in the kiddie pool with Connor (he also had his bath in there.) The water had been warming in the sun all day, but the air was still a bit chilly - so thanks Chelsea for braving it and taking the plunge!

Chlesea and Anthony caught the red eye back to NYC on Sunday night at 10:30pm. We were sad to see them go, and Connor is looking all around today for that guy who was playing ball with him all weekend. Where did he go???
