Memorial Day Weekend Part 2

Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day Weekend we spent with our friends Paul and Amanda (and their adorable lil guy, Hayden) from Colorado. Amanda and I worked together in the NICU at CHOC and quickly became friends. Paul and Rob hit it off great too and we really enjoy hanging out with them, but they moved back to Colorado where they are from and where their family is. We hope they will be returning to Southern California soon (to stay!)...we will keep our fingers crossed!

Saturday we met Paul, Amanda and Hayden at Laguna Beach for Hayden's first beach trip. Jenn, another friend from the NICU, and her boyfriend Richard also met us their. It was a fun day...especially for Hayden who learned what sand is all about, and got his first ride on a boogy board. Lets just say it was a good thing he was in good company with 2 NICU nurses and a respiratory therapist when daddy let go of his boggy board in the Pacific Ocean waves!

Sunday we relaxed at our house. We had a full day of swimming, sunning and BBQing.

Of course, Hayden was in the pool with the guys!

We also managed to finish off 2 bottles of wine and 2 bottles of champagne while playing Wii and relaxing in the spa. But don't worry...there was 6 of us to share all the goodness...and sorry Hayden--it was bedtime for you!

We had such a fun weekend! Paul, Amanda and Hayden, you are welcome at the Sessler B&B anytime and can't wait for your next trip back! We miss you!

Memorial Day Weekend Part 1

Memorial Day Weekend was busy and so much fun! Friday night I went to the Taylor Swift concert at Staples Center. My friend Carol from work was kind to invite me to go with her and her daughter and their friends after she found out I had tried so hard to get tickets. (Sorry Rob...it was a girls only night...but I don't think you minded!) The concert was AMAZING from the 28th row! Gloriana and Kellie Pickler opened for Taylor and they were both REALLY good! Taylor Swift was soooo good in concert! She had a million wardrobe changes and sang almost every one of her songs! We even had a special guest at our concert...John Mayor!!! Taylor Swift and John Mayor sang Wonderland together and then sang one of Taylor Swifts songs together! I really like John Mayor too, so it was great! I still think my favorite part was Taylor's sparkly guitar...and funny thing, that's one of the reasons why I started listening to her...because of her sparkly pink guitar...I just fell in love!

Another picture from Cabo...

Here is another picture from our Cabo trip. Kim, Rob, Melody and I swam with the dolphins and had a great time! We were actually the only group in the pool so we had 4 dolphins all to ourselves!! We got to play in the water with them, ride on their belly, do the dorsal tow and got kissed by 2 dolphins at once! It was so much fun...and yes, if you can't tell...I LOVE dolphins! This is the second time Rob and I have swam with the dolphins (and our third time if you count the Sea World program). Rob knows we have to swim with the dolphins EVERY TIME we go somewhere that has a program like this. I think next time we go to Cabo, we are going to do the trainer for a day!
