Eleanor and Henry had more visitors this week, with Grandma and Grandpa stopping in for a visit. We had a fun packed week of activities, and a lot of eating out! On Monday we took advantage of a day off of school to visit Cabrillo National Monument and check out the tide pools. The kids…

This week Eleanor and Henry welcomed Uncle B and Aunt B into town for a visit. We wasted no time in getting Uncle B to our favorite Mexican restaurant, and the fun continued from there. On Saturday, Henry had his last soccer games – it was a round robin tournament where the top two teams…
