I woke up at 6:30am and got ready for my 8:33am flight. As I’ve been doing in the recent past, I parked at my office and took the Marriott shuttle bus to the airport. I got to the hotel around 7:30am. The shuttle bus didn’t show up until around 7:50am. I was pretty upset that it took so long to show up.
I didn’t get to the gate (E07) until 8:18am. The flight is scheduled to depart at 8:33am. Fortunately they had my boarding pass waiting for me (seat 5E in business class). I boarded without incident.
During the flight I watched ‘Finding Nemo‘ and had a hot omelet breakfast. I also consumed two crown & cokes during the four-hour flight.
When I arrived in San Diego I went into a restroom and changed into shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals. Amy picked me up from the airport. Cal was in the car with her. We drove out to La Jolla and met Larry, Tucker, and Lily on the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day today. The Pacific Ocean was pretty clear (to me) and the sky was a brilliant blue. I had a good time.
Around 11:30am we packed up all of our stuff and walked into the restaurant area of La Jolla. We lunched at a nice place where I had a cheese and egg sandwich.
After lunch we headed to Larry & Amy’s house. They showed me the new office addition that was built onto their house. I was amazed at the quality of the construction.
Larry and I took both cars (the Suburban and Yukon) and drove separately to a furniture warehouse place where we picked up two end-tables. When we got back to the house, we unloaded them and carried them upstairs.
By this time it was around 2pm or so and we went out to the pool. We played with Buster and Coco in the pool with some tennis balls. We would throw the balls in the pool and the dogs would dive in after them. Buster was better at this than Coco. We discovered that Coco loved to play with the giant beach-balls though. If you toss it at her, she will bounce it off her nose sort of like a soccer player head butting the ball. Unfortunately she was trying to bite down on the beach ball and destroyed three of them. Amy brought Lily out and we played with her in the pool too.
After the pool I took a shower and dressed for dinner. Rachel the nanny came over so that just Larry, Amy, and I could go out to dinner tonight.
We went to a great restaurant in La Jolla and sat outside. Larry brought his camera and a nice bottle of wine. The outside seating overlooks the ocean and we were able to see the setting sun. It was a great atmosphere. I had the Alaskan Halibut. I would classify the dinner as delicious.
After dinner I helped Larry with some stuff on his new computer and wrote in my journal.
