It's been quite awhile since her last visit with us here, so Tom took the opportunity of the occasion of a family wedding in Orange County--her great-niece, Linda--to ferry his mom to the celebration on Wednesday, then, next day, to fly with her up here to hang with us for awhile. Worked great!
I picked them up mid-morning, Thursday, at the Sacto airport and we all headed southwest to San Francisco to see Dylan and Rachel. It had been quite some time since she'd had the chance to visit with them both at once. We picked up Rachel, where Mom got to see her cute flat and meet her roomie, Walker. We met Dylan at the Pier 23 restaurant shortly thereafter where we enjoyed a nice lunch on the deck outside. There they are, smiling under the Flat Tire Amber Ale sign after the meal.
Rachel had to get back to work, so after dropping her off, we headed over to Dylan's shop so she could see it and a few pieces of his furniture.
There they are, discussing the finer points of the functional art scene, and then, again, with Tom in the picture. The rush-hour escape from the city was miraculously quick, leaving us plenty of time to stop in Auburn for Foster's Reese's Peanut-Butter-Cup Twisters for extra energy.
The rest of the time was pretty low-key. She worked in a Facebook tutorial, naps, a build-your-own frozen-yogurt sundae at Culture Shock, naps, Mexican food at Maria's, naps, some British TV, more naps, fish tacos at Rubio's and some Gunther's ice cream in Sacramento (photo with me). Yup. All good stuff.
We got her back to the airport on Sunday afternoon looking like she'd weathered the grueling schedule just fine. It was fun and we'll look forward to next time.
After I work off some of the "fun".
