Spring Break

We were so excited to have Owen come and spend a few days with us during his Spring break.  I wish he could have stayed longer!  We picked him up on Tuesday morning at Concordia and then we drove to Rancho Cucamonga and took him for lunch at the Islands.  From there we came home in time to have the Webelo scouts at our house for a visit with a therapy dog and his training.  He spent the rest of the evening reading a book that was assigned for one of his classes.  On Wednesday he slept in and we were so glad because this grandson of ours works extremely hard!  We drove around and showed him the "hot spots" of Victorville--like where his dad went to elementary and high school.  Told him a few stories about his dad with an occasional embellishment for effect!  And made sure we fed him continually so when he got back to the dorm the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches would be a little more bearable.  On Thursday we decided to make a trip to the Los Angeles area for lunch at Pinks and a visit to the Santa Monica Pier.We would have done a few more things but we ended up driving 20 miles at hour on the 405 freeway so our trip back to Irvine took us 2 1/2 hours.  We settled for a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant and then sadly we had to say goodbye to Owen.  What a fine young man he is and it was such a treat to get to know him a little better. He is a wonderful young man and we were so grateful for the time we had to spend time with him.
