Laura and Chris Visit from San Diego

by

Chris is one of my oldest and dearest friends. Although we weren’t technically in the same Kindergarten class (I was AM and he was in PM), I still count him among my “Kindergarten” friends. That’s 40+ years of friendship, which has included family trips, long road trips since we could drive, camping, fishing after school, and our first entrepreneurial venture, A&R Window Cleaning. Thankfully, all our mischief never landed us in jail (together).

Somewhere in the middle, we went to different schools and Chris moved to different states, but nothing revokes Kindergarten-friend status. We finally ended up in the same state and we always see them when we’re down in SoCal. It took a while for Laura and Chris to deem Cooper and Stella road-worthy, and a couple weeks ago they went on a great California adventure that culminated (peaked?) with a visit to our house.

Little did they know that meant being integrated into our strict routine of car repair, Il Fornaio, froyo, the park, the other park, and the farmers market. The adults did manage to sneak in a dinner in San Francisco. The kids were fast friends and had lots in common (Minecraft and arts and crafts brings everyone together).

We’re already looking forward to their next visit and they now know the drill.
