San Marino

We woke up to a message from our Air bnb host that she had left warm pastries outside our door. By the time we hit up they were no longer warm but we put them in the microwave to get them warm again. Amazing homemade almond croissants, mmmmm they were good. Peter made us coffee when we got to their house, and then Jen, the kids, Larry and I went to Huntington Gardens, a huge place with many gorgeous gardens and several art museums. They had an outdoor children's activity area where the kids could create portraits, and they had a lot of fun with those. Timothy especially liked coloring with markers on clear plastic walls. Then Larry and Peter went to the American art museum and Jen, Betsy, Timothy and I went to the children's garden, which was amazing, well designed and clearly a favorite with many families there. We spent several hours there, then home to make homemade pizza on flatbread before watching the movie Moana. The kids were tired and were in bed before 7:30. We have enjoyed such wonderful, sunny, warm weather all week, so much nicer than the cool rainy februaries of the past two years. That is going to change tomorrow.......Read more
