Santa Barbara Fun



On Memorial Day we drove up to Santa Barbara to gather with the Marquis family since everyone came into town for the blessing. Adam took Tuesday off from work so we could spend an extra day in Santa Barbara with his sister's family. On Tues. we made a stop over at The Mission for the annual chalk drawing festival called the "I Madonnari" (Italian tradition dating to the 16th Century). Next we made our way over to the wharf for some clam chowder, lobster tacos & ice cream...yum! Merrick was such a good boy & stayed asleep the whole time so no photos of him. Our last stop was at my nephew's track meet, listening to an old lady talk to me about the Montecito fire of '64, her husband's gall stones & a few other stories all the while I am trying to nurse Merrick. It was a great day!

What a fun day! Did you notice June's twin in the background of one of the pictures?!

We were glad to find out that you aren't totally house-bound any more and that Merrick is behaving. Keep it up!
