We're Back!

It's been some time since I added a blog entry, and there's been a lot going on.  I'm going to try to make shorter, more frequent entries now.

Over the last few weeks, 2 couples from Annapolis came to visit us.  First, Sam and Angela flew in and spent one evening with us before going up to Santa Barbara, about 2 hours north along the coast where they were meeting Sam's brother.  We took them to our favorite restaurants, and showed them a few sites before they left.  We recommended they drive up the coast (not the highway) to Santa Barbara and they told us it was a beautiful drive.

Later in the week Bruce and Heidi flew in for a few days before they go to Palm Springs.  We had more time with Bruce and Heidi so did more together.  Lou and Heidi visited some of the downtown attractions, including the hollywood stars walk, Graumans Chinese Theater (where movie stars imprint their hands in the sidewalk), the Kodak Theater (home of the Oscars), La Brea Tar Pits and Rodeo Drive (where they were charmmed by a salesman at an art gallery trying to sell them Picassos and Chigals).
