Dick & Diana visit SoCal!

After threatening to come out and see us for a number of years, Dick & Di finally made it out here in the middle of July. Dick and I go way back. He is my fraternity brother from Penn State and we've kept in touch and stayed close all these years.

Here we are at lunch at the Poseidon Restaurant on the beach in Del Mar. I'm writing this in August and my memory of Dick and Di's visit is sort of hazy. In fact it was sort of hazy in July too. I know we had a great time though.

The people on the porch with Dick are his brother and his wife, Bill and Gail. Bill & Gail and assorted other members of Dick's family were having a small reunion in Mission Beach.

This was martini night at our favorite local hangout, the Meritage. It also happened to be "Rods and Woodies" night in the Village area of Encinitas.

So we had a few cocktails and then walked around looking at rods and woodies.

We went to the beach a few times. We also went to a Padres game. They lost to the Phillies. We also went to the horse races at Del Mar and won a bunch of money...or maybe not. We had a lot of fun. So much fun that I forgot to take photos.
