San Diego bound!

Today (yesterday  now) was the long-awaited day that we flew from London to San Diego. It was a long ole flight but we all settled in just fine and watched the movies of our choice and tried to get some sleep too. Tryfan slept about 5 hours (of 11) and the rest of us managed to get at least 1-2 hrs, so it was a success.

We landed around 6:15 pm, rented a mini-van, and drove an hour north to San Clemente to stay with Mike and Deanna and their kids Aidan and Tyler.

 Mike and Deanna had scored a dog-sitting job at an amazing house in a gated community in San Clemente, and this coincided with our visit so we got to enjoy this place as well ! By the time we got there and Deanna had whipped up some dinner for us, we all had a second wind and so were wide awake and happy to be sitting outside in the fresh California air on the comfy couches around a fancy gas fireplace drinking wine (adults only, of course). Deanna and I stayed up past midnight chatting and it was soooo wonderful.

 We all woke up pretty early and helped ourselves to the pantry full of fun things to eat. Beware anyone who allows the Lewis family or Pearce family to house sit for them if there happens to be a pantry full of fun things to eat!
We are going to go to the beach and various swimming pools today, and life is very good!
