I had so much fun last year visiting my college friends in SD, I am trying to make it an annual trip. So this year, we got the crew together for a day at Balboa Park. It was a perfect day to be outside, and it was great for all the little ones. We ended the day with dinner at the Prado Restaurant, but I failed to take photos at that point. Give me a break, I was on NY time! Anyway, I was thrilled to spend the day with Jeannine, Alex, Alma, Dale, Ken, Ethan, Aileen, Kanoa, Jerry and TJ. Thanks to everyone for coming, and I hope to see you all again next year!

Roommates for 3 years at UCSD - me, Alma and Dale.

My new buddy, Alex (Jeannine’s 6-month-old cutie)

Alma and her sister, Aileen, and Aileen’s little guy Kanoa (who just turned 1!). Aileen was our 4th roommate during our last year of college.

Jeannine was my next-door neighbor in the dorms, and my roommate during my last year in SD.

Alma, Dale and Ethan, Dale’s son (a very happy 2 1/2 years old!)

Jeannine gets a taste of what’s Alex might be like in a couple years.

Ethan and Kanoa bond over a shared blade of grass.

Dale and Ken borrow Alex to see what it’ll be like to have a 2nd child.

Ethan discusses the big brother situation with daddy Ken.

After some consideration, Ethan decides Alex is one cool kid.
