Labor Day weekend was a blast with Maxine and Jack in Carlsbad, Ca. We spent a great day at the San Diego Zoo and a few precious moments wiggling our toes in the sand at the beach, eating fish and chips and watching the sunset.
Maxine had a really great plan for Saturday. We traveled about an hour and a half away to visit Pomona, the small town we had grown up in. It was surreal to view the home we lived in as children, the schools we went to and a hundred memorable places we hardly recognized. You see Jack and Jim lived in Pomona as children too. Maxine and I meet the the boys that would be the men we married right there.
We also visited our Mommy's grave site near by. We had a prayer and shared choice memories we all had of this sweet little lady. She pasted on in 1972 before reaching the age of 52. We miss her still.
The climax of our day was a delicious dinner at "The North Woods Inn". Our entire family has great memories of the amazing food and love shared there.
Thank you Maxine and Jack for the best long weekend ever! You may have noticed the date of this entry and realized our little vacation was the weekend after Labor Day. We would have been crazy to be traveling on the real holiday, RIGHT? Besides Jim and I had this long weekend open. Giggle, giggle! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
