On Thursday morning we flew from the tiny Santa Barbara airport to San Diego. Rhiannon was really excited about our trip to go stay with her friend Isabella.
We were the first ones on the plane and it was a lovely morning for flying over southern California.
We landed in San Diego, picked up our rental car, and headed to Denny's restaurant for a good ol' American breakfast of eggs, sausage, toast and pancakes. Then we drove straight up to Encinitas to settle in with our friends Lisa and Espi and their daughter Isabella (who is 1 day younger than Rhiannon). They had prepared for our visit with this friendly chalk greeting:
It was a very exciting afternoon and Rhiannon didn't sleep at all, but it was good in a way because she was able to explore all of Isabella's toys and books while Isa was sleeping. After Isa woke up, we walked to the nearby park and pulled the girls in a wagon.
While we were at the park, we encountered a drinking fountain. That made me realize that I haven't seen any drinking fountains in Norway! Lisa and I had to explain to Rhiannon how to drink from it and Lisa suggested that Rhiannon pretend she is a dog. So Rhiannon did big licks of the water as flew in the air from the spout. It was pretty funny to watch!
