Emily comes to town!!

After many years of wishful invitations, Emily finally came to California for a visit!  Emmy was so happy; she kept saying, "You're Emily.  I'm Emmy!  Emmy, Emily!"  Emily was a great person to host.  She was so sweet with the kids and patient with my pregnancy naps and long drives to and from school with the kids.  She even woke up every morning and had lunches assemble and ready for the kids.

We had a great few days.  Despite the unusually chilly weather, we visited Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and San Juan Capistrano.  The highlight was our visit to the farmers market.  Emily couldn't believe the rows and rows of citrus.  We then took all our freshly bought produce, made huge salads, and picnicked in beautiful downtown San Juan. It was so fun!

The other highlight of Emily's visit was Saturday, when we ventured up to Santa Monica to visit Jason and Anjali.  Jason rented city bikes for us and we rode all the way through Santa Monica Beach into Venice Beach.  We then ate a wonderful lunch and took an Uber back to the apartment.  It was such a neat way to spend the day in busy L.A.!
