California (part deux)

What a fantastic vacation! Let’s see, where did I leave off? Oh yeah, Papa John! Daddy and Mommy took me to Pomona to meet my great grandpa Papa John. He held me and we stared at each other for a long time. Daddy showed me pictures of my great grandma Grandma Connie when we were there too. Then we went to lunch at the Olive Garden and had desert at Papa John’s favorite place, Wendy’s! He loves Frostys the way I love milk. Then we drove to the house that Papa John lived in for 40 years, the house my daddy’s daddy grew up in. Then we drove back to Papa John’s place and met his lady friend, Jackie, who was very nice to me and knew just how I wanted to be held. Then we drove back to Long Beach and mom and dad went in the hot tub while I hung out on the edge in my chair. It was a great day!

Then we left for Sonora to visit Uncle Ben and Clare. On the way out of LA we dropped Great Grandma Millie off at her house and then drove and drove until we got to Sonora. Ben and Clare took me to a reservoir where I watched mommy and daddy swim. Uncle Ben showed me around the building that his newspaper is made in, which was awesome. The newspaper has an ice cream store across the street from it so daddy got a peanutbutter milkshake.

Then we drove home, stopping at Caleb’s house on the way for a night. Caleb’s sister Natalie is coming on Friday so we’re so excited!

And that’s it, my first vacation!
