We got to Kim and Steve's yesterday in early afternoon. (I'll write more later about our drive up from Yucaipa and put up some pictures--it was a beautiful drive, and we really enjoyed ourselves. We both got a little sunburn, but it was worth it!) After we got caught up on things, we all ran some errands, then had what Kimberley calls a "hunky" meal, and what Ken and I call a "snack food" meal--salami, cheese, fruit, etc. Yum!
In the evening, we played with Kim and Steve's new toy--they got a Wii! First we did a little Mario Kart, which I totally suck at. I couldn't keep my stupid car on the road! This is Ken's driver: King Boo on his chopper. I don't know why this cracked me up so much, but I just love King Boo! Then we tried tennis, which is a lot of fun, and while I wasn't very good at that, either, I was better--it was just fun! We did bowling, and that's my favorite so far, because I beat Ken and Steve. Ha ha! It's quite funny, because in real life, I am a HORRIBLE bowler. My scores don't usually even break 50, but for some reason, I did pretty good at the Wii version. Ken and Steve are playing golf at the moment while Kim and I are in the office. My opinion of Wii? I want one!
Today we all got up around the same time. Ken and Steve had a round of golf scheduled for 9:30, and after they left, Kim and I just sat and chatted for a while about work, birds, people, what have you. We finally got up and around and headed out.
We tooled around to a few other places, including Pismo Beach (where we split a pulled pork sandwich at Mo's Barbecue--delicious!) and Avila Beach, and downtown San Luis Obispo.
The boys didn't have a very good day at the golf course, but managed to avoid breaking any clubs. I was sorry to hear that it didn't go well, but they still had fun. Kim and I had a lovely afternoon, and we're off soon to eat at Jocko's, which Kim described as a "carnivore's paradise." Works for me!
More soon!

More Wii tonight. It may be a new toy, but we will need to discuss. Don't want any "sore" loosers :o)
Since I pay $8 a glass for wine where I go, I would say you got a great deal. I was once looking thru a catalog that sold sex toys & wine. I, for some reason, found that combo hysterical. Then I read: SEX TOYS CAN BE SHIPPED TO ALL STATES BUT WINE IS RESTRICTED TO CERTAIN AREAS.
Haaaaaa. Ok. ~Mary

My wife and I would love to have a Wii!! It looks like a blast! It sounds like a good time for all. Very pretty pic of the vineyard. Even though the golf game didn't go well, having a good time is the point, and just being out there. I'm glad you two have had such a good time!

My kids would vote in favor of you guys getting a Wii! The bowling is my favorite, too.

Our family was in SLO and Pismo recently as well on the way to the Cal State Games where my oldest played AAU basketball. Did you see Bubble Gum Alley in SLO? That is always a huge hit with my kids! Did you make it to Solvang? It is such a cute little town. Maybe I should read the following entries. I have been away so long I am waay behind!
