Fun in Stockton.
I had a really wonderful day visiting both sets of Grandparents in Stockton.
I'm kicking myself for not remembering to bring my camera with me.
I passed by a perfect Kodak moment...
I first went to visit my Mom's parents. My grandfather's brother, who I haven't seen in well over 15 years was also visiting. My Grandfather is 89, and his brother is about 92. I can't believe that I didn't have a camera to take a photo of the two of them together. I have the image in my head, but I really wish that I had it in print.
One of the best moments of the day was when the four of us went out for dim sum lunch. We could have taken any car: my MINI (2 door), my Grandparent's car (4-door) or my Great-Uncle's car (4-door). Well, everyone was so excited at the thought of riding in my cute MINI that they insisted that I drive! I thought it might be a little problematic having them get into my backseat, by lo-and-behold, my Grandpa and his brother both climbed right in! My Grandma sat in the front passenger seat. It was so much fun! They all got such a kick out of my car, and really enjoyed the ride. This was obviously another moment that I really wish that I had my camera with me.
I hung out with my Mom's parents for a few more hours, then headed over to my Dad's parents house. (they only live a few miles apart.) I had wonderful visit over there as well, and even decided to stay for dinner! (who can pass up a home-made Grandma dinner?)
It was 102 degrees in Stockton today (at least that's what my MINI reported) but really, it wasn't too bad. First of all, having AC in the car is a must. But I did get out and walk about a little bit, and although it was certainly hot, it wasn't too bad. Sometimes I forget how much better dry heat is compared to humidity.
