ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! It stopped raining about 10ish on Sat. morn and off to the Mission (with my personal guide doncha know ) and what a place it is. It was Monarch Butterfly time as well as just the time of year The Swallows are back. Sara explained that The Swallows don't spend all that much time at the Mission any more, they would rather hang out in the parking lot at the Mall *what are you going to do with kids these days?* This was after a beautiful drive to Dana Point and around town. Back to pick up Don and off on another adventure to Newport Beach and a ferry ride to Balboa Island and a harbor cruise to be peeping (hi Gini) Toms into the homes of the Rich & Famous. The E's are everything we have heard and more. Lady Edwina gave me a lovely wake up call Sat. morn and some pointers on how I should better pack and manage my purse. Edwardo is a total love. Sara & Dons house could be on a tour package of it's own. Thanks to two of the best So Cal guides ever!! Gini, hope you were kidding about my being upset I'm upset with myself for not planning a longer vacation. Great speaking with you Slick & Randi. See you all later. If I can open the window on the plane I'll drop you a care package Phred. "look out below".....
