Part Three: Grandma and the Dodgers

(2nd Day of Vacation- long post with lots of pictures- again memories for Gibby and Etta)

We woke up and showered and got dressed. We were so happy to have our suitcase. Andy went out back and picked some oranges to make us all freshed squeezed orange juice. The best juice ever. We jumped in the car stopped for a quick dough nut(only on vacation) and headed to see Great Grandma Etta.

Waiting for my dough nut, please.

Nothing is better with dough nuts.

Grandma Etta May is living in a darling Senior Assisted Living. She has a gorgeous top floor room, great view and she is so happy. She took us for a tour and wanted to show off her darling great grandchildren. They had an activity going on that we watched her play for a while, Wii bowling. Then Etta spilled her milk, Gibby was fussing and Grandma was not use to the ruckus and didn't want to bother the other people there. So we left and headed off to lunch.

Instead of "Cheese" Grandma said to say "Gobble, Gobble"

We went to my favorite restaurant the North Woods. They have the best cheese bread, red cabbage salad and clam chowder. They let you eat peanuts and drop the shells on the ground and their lights are turned down low. The atmosphere is just great. It is the only place in California with snow on it's roof top all year long. We had a great time there with Grandma. Etta ate a little and Gibby slept the whole time.

This is Mommy's Favorite Restaurant.

Snow year round.

Just to tired to eat

After lunch we dropped Grandma back off at her new place and went to see Aunt Linda and Uncle Hans. They own a Cake and Candy story called A & J Cake and Candy Supplies .
We chatted and ate some delicious candies. Aunt Linda sent us home with some chocolates and treats to make. They melted a bit but made it home. It is great to see family and eat yummy chocolate.

It was now Dodger time. We headed over to Dodger stadium for our first game of the season(at least for me, Etta and Gibson). The early evening air was perfect, the field was gorgeous and the company was the best. Etta wanted a hot dog so Daddy got her, her very own dodgerdog and she ate the whole thing. Both kids were perfect. Gibby hated when everyone would yell and Andy would jump up, but he soon got use to it and fell asleep. Etta watched the whole game. Dodgers won and we had fun!

Excited to go to her first Dodger game of the season

Made it through the whole game.

What a great game/night. Of course Andy and I hit In and Out Burgers on the way home and then we all went to sleep.
