Back from the West Coast
The long awaited vacation has come and gone. Although Scott has a few new gray hairs and Kayla will no longer look at little girls chasing after her as a good thing, the trip went off without a hitch. We managed to fit in about 10 days of activities into about 3 days. We hit Sea World, Disney, Wild Animal Park, Orfila vineyard and a very nice tour of Fairbanks and Rancho Santa Fe. The Fish Market was tremendous and some Mexican restaurants we tried were also very good except for the part where you think that you ordered one thing and you get a damn salad. Atleast the margaritas flowed smooth and often. Breakfast on the beach at the Posiedan and a walk in the Ocean topped things of. Enough of my rambling. Thank you again to one of San Diego's finest hotel proprietors "Cat Dancer" and his faithful companion "Lover Dog". By the way, the weather was sunny and 80 degrees everyday, but I am glad to be back on the Ponderosa. Flight 186 from San Diego has landed.

Scottie - all the accolades from your happy customers can't match those from your adoring family. Not bad for a country boy from Nicollet, Minnesota. Thanks for taking such good care of my kids.
And rest assured -- Dad won't be moving into your spare bedroom anytime soon. Too many people in San Diego for him. Although, he can't seem to stop talking about his sexy golfing partner. If you run into her again - get her phone number. He wants to see if she lost her "tummy" yet!!
Lonni and Kristina: do you think Scott will ever allow anyone to stay at 'Hotel Kennel' again? We plugged up the toilet our first night, and you all beat him in golf...he probably changed the locks as soon as 'flight 186' took off.
Glad to hear you had such a great time and managed to see so much. I, like you, am very grateful to my brother for being such a wonderful host and putting up with us during our trip to San Diego. And, I continue to be in awe of his unbelievable talent as an architect and the respect that his clients have for him.
By the way, did Scott take you to Coronado Island? He took us, and then just casually mentioned as we were driving across the bridge that 'now with the war in Iraq, this bridge is one of the major targets for terrorists because if they blow it up it would block the waterway and prevent any military ships from passing thru.' This comment deepened one old man's desire to return to "god's country" asap.
