Part of my therapy for my foot is to visit great friends! This past
weekend, I took the train from San Juan Capistrano to Santa
Barbara to visit my friend Jill whom I work with in Mammoth.
Great times had by all!!
 |
| Jill, Andrea and Megan at Blue Agave in Santa Barbara |
 |
The following day after I arrived, it was decided that we were going to fly
Catalina Island for lunch...can you say decadent?? Jill has her pilot's
license and her great friend Andrea owns a flight school. |
 |
| Jill doing the pre-flight |
 |
| Her son Owen in the cockpit |
 |
| Her daughter Skylar untying the plane. |
 |
| Jill demonstrating how the seatbelts work. She was playing around (that is not just a cheesy flight attendant smile) because we found an extra buckle. |
 |
| This is Andrea on the phone discovering that not only was there severe turbulence forecasted, but the battery on her friend Brian's plane was dead......so...... |
 |
| We had lunch in Santa Barbara, but pretended we were in Catalina! |
 |
| Jill's oldest daughter goes to the boarding school, Midland near Los Olivos. Very cool place, very rustic and the kids have to do a lot, like build their own fires for their rooms and the showers, plant garden plots, etc. It is right across the street from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch |

 |
| Tenaya's brother and sister were very happy to see her! |

| View from Tenaya's Room, gorgeous! |
 |
| And introducing....Charlie! My parents new little pound pup. He is 1 1/2 years old and soooo cute! |
Charlie came to play with his cousin Sophie yesterday. They had a blast chasing each other, romping around and playing. They finally quieted down and both fell fast asleep until GRANDPA walked into the house ~ then everyone was happy and ready to play again!
ReplyDeleteStacie! What a great picture story! I was totally ready for the Catalina pics, then.... What a fun adventure you had! So glad!
ReplyDeleteLunch tomorrow?
