Over the weekend, we made an impromptu visit to Palm Springs to see Great Tutu and get away from our June Gloom (that was still here mid-July!!) We drove out on Friday night and got settled into the hotel and the pool. The weather was a lovely 110 degrees! But I was certainly not complaining, it was a relief from the 60 degree temperatures, fog and drizzle that we had experienced all week in Ventura! On Saturday we got to visit with Great Tutu at her house. It was so wonderful to see her! She and Jack have always had a unique connection, and even though it had been a year since they'd seen one another, he flew in her door, gave her kisses, high fives and even did knuckles with her! That was adorable! Jack and his great grandmother doing a whole series of gestures to greet each other! Rob and I were able to chat with her for quite a while while Jack explored all the treasures in her living room. We caught up on all topics, from serious to silly, and everything in between. Rob and I could not have agreed more, it was by far the highlight of our trip!
Ironically, Auntie Kim was in Italy and Uncle Lorenzo in Houston while we were in the desert. Crazy that we missed them, but sometimes that is the way it goes. Furthermore, Uncle Carlo, Aunt Tara and cousins Luke and Collin were vacationing in Santa Barbara while we were in their neck of the woods! We were so glad their stay was extended so Jack and I could join them for fun at the beach in Santa Barbara on Tuesday. It was an absolute gorgeous day and we were so happy to spend it with them. The boys got to play together and even posed in their matching Italy shirts for a muscle photo! What a fantastic day! As you can see, it wiped Jack out. He fell asleep in Rob's arms that night. You can only party for so long until it catches up with you!
