MeeMaw came to town for a visit! So we picked her up from the airport and headed strait to The Del for lunch and dessert at MooTime Creamery! The kids were in heaven, MeeMaw & Ice Cream!!!!

Headed to The Ferry Landing to ride the ferry across to San Diego for Dinner.

Why We Are Here...

Toro Energy (Taylor, Jacquie & Paul) is

expanding an electrical plant at the Otay Landfill in Trula Vista from 7 to 10 MegaWatts.

Paul needed to be onsite for the expansion which is to take about a month. We happily jumped on board when he asked if we wanted to come out to Cali with him! 

We've had the opportunity to go out to the plant to see exactly what he does!

(I still do not fully know every detail of what he does, but this was so exciting to see.)

On the job site...

Hello Coronado...

Greetings from Cali y'all!!! 

Oh how I could get used to this weather, the palm trees and Mootime Creamery IceCream for dessert every night!!!! We've been here for about 3 weeks now and have 1 week left! Trying to soak up every last ounce of sweetness! 

Here is a quick recap of Week 1...

Within 30 minutes of arriving at our condo, Charly found her luggage, pulled out her swimsuit, put it on along with her goggles and said, "I'm ready to go to the beach".

So, we put the boys down for nap and that's where we went!

The first night we strolled to Orange St. and had dinner at our fav spot, Village Pizzeria.
