I Was Greeted at John Wayne Airport by the Duke and My Nephew Andrew, Then...

... Off to Visit Zoey.

Julie and Mom Sit for Zoey on Thursdays.

Zoey's Heading to the...

... Park. She's Quite the Gymnist, And...

... a Slider. Then Mom & I Dropped Andrew at the Yacht Club.

Andrew Raced With Uncle Keith on a Friend's Boat.

They Finished 2nd in Their Class. After the Race Keith Shows Andrew How to...

... Fold the Sails, But He Really Wants to...

... Skipper the Boat!

A Beautiful Day in Bluebird Canyon.

Enjoying the View Before...

... Heading to L.A. Mom Enjoys Her Lunch Before Our Visit to...

... the La Brea Tar Pits.

It Seems Andrew Found a Friend.

Enough of That, Let's See Some History.

The Digging Began in the Early 1900's and...

... Continues Today.

The Tar Pits Are So Dense With Artifacts, It Takes Decades to Catalog Them.

This Was a VERY Frequent Occurrence.

If Daddy Helps, He Falls Victim to the Tar Pit as Well.

Nice Sloth - The Tar Does an Excellent Job of Preserving the Bones.

Unfortunately, There Are So Many Bones Gravity Crushes Many of Them.

The Museum Has Some Great Pieces.

Here Kitty, Nice Kitty.

Not That's a Set of Tusks!

Interesting Facial Bones.

Not Much of a Weapon, But Very Intimidating.

The Predator of the Tar Pits - Wolves.

They Discovered More Wolf Carcuses Than Any Other.

Large Snake? No a Sabre Tooth Tiger.

Scientists and Volunteers in the Fish Bowl.

Tedious Work Preserving History.

Working the Pits in the Old Days.

The Real Reason Man Was Interested in This Area!

We Found These Turtles Relaxing in the Courtyard at the Museum.

What's Next?

A Trip to the Farmers Market.

Everything Looks So Very Good.

Guess They've Got Lots of Money to Decorate Bathrooms in Laguna Beach, And...

... Place Monuments to Their Favorite Past Time.

Off to Heisler Park, to...

... See the Recent Changes.

The View Was GREAT.

We Walked Along the Cliffs, Enjoying...

... the Scenery.

We Saw a Few Paddle Boarders.

It Wasn't Warm Enough for Sun Bathers.

Mom's Taking in the Sights.

What a Lovely Spot to Walk, Relax and Enjoy.

Might Be Something You'd Have to do Daily.

The Rose Garden at Las Brisas.

The Sun Was Burning Off The Cloud Cover.

There Were Lots of People Walking.

Enjoying Time Together, We Were Tempted to...

... Sneak Down to the Beach. Nah, We've Got a ...

... Pool Party to Attend.

Aunt Terry and ...

... Uncle Keith Hosted the Family at Their Home in Costa Mesa.

Andrew Thinks He Can Get Used to This!

Cousin Taylor IS Used to This!

As Is Cousin Natalie (Keith's Daughter).

Keith's Son Ryan Just Returned From a Year in Puerto Rico Studying Nursing.

Ryan's Fiancee' is Glad He's Back!

Lucky Uncle Walt!

Keith Breaks Out the Lounger.

Taylor Looks Ready to Join Him, But Wait...

... I Grab a Tube and Beat Him to It.

This is the Life.

Hey Fellas, Look Who Just Showed Up...

... Cousion Brian. Nice Mohawk!

It's Just Hair, What's the Big Deal?

Walt Protects What He's Got!

I'm Lookin' Like a Lobster - Ouch!

Sun Went Down - Time to Hot Tub!

Where Did Everyone Go?

At the Fountain From Grandma & Grandpa Schwegler's Yard in Rancho Bernardo?

Or Investigating Keith & Terry's New Solar Power?

Nope, No One in the Pool Means...

... It's Time to Eat! We Got a Surprise Visit From Cousin Shawna (Suzie's Daughter) and Her Husband Dennis.

While Cousin Taylor's on the Grill, We ...

... Flock to the Kitchen for Munchies!

WOW Taylor - Great Job!

The Ladies Review Their Family Tree on Ancestory.com, While...

... the Cousins Head Back to the Hot Tub.

Enjoying a Breakfast Buritto at A's in Dana Point.

Mom Asked a Homeless Guy Who Was Asking for Money to Join Us, Then...

... Boat Shopping at Dana Point!

Not Really, Just Out for a Stroll at the Marina.

It Was a Gorgeous Day.

Bummer - They Started Building Luxury Homes on the Point.

Wave Action on the Break Wall.

Nice Lids!

We Visited My Fraternity Brother Toby Nassif at His Daughter's Swim Meet, and Then...

... Caught the End of the Concours d Elegance Car Show. Here's the Best of the Show.

On Monday, Andrew and I Had Some Fun.

Racing Go Karts.

We Had Unlimited Rides for 4 Hours.

We Enjoyed Rock Climbing, Mini Golf and the Batting Cages.

Farewell Andrew, Mom and Laguna Beach, Off to Visit Dad in Palm Desert.
