Thanksgiving weekend

Todd was disappointed that we didn't get to go Aunt Debbie and Uncle Ron's house for Thanksgiving this year. He was really looking forward to seeing everyone, especially Grandpa. I guess he still remembered how much they'd bonded during their Oklahoma trip earlier this year!

On Saturday, though, Oma and Opa came up to Santa Barbara, and we had lunch together, as well as visited the sights downtown a bit.

Here we are at the top of the Courthouse, overlooking a gorgeous view of Santa Barbara, the mountains and the ocean all around us:



And here we are in the Sunken Gardens of the Courthouse. As you can see in the last photo, the little man was weary of having his photo taken. At least he moved his hands enough so that his face was uncovered when Opa snapped this picture!

Literal answers

Mommy was planning to go somewhere today, and, knowing that Daddy knew where it was, she asked him: "How do I get there?"

But before Daddy could answer, Todd piped up with a very legitimate answer:

"You walk downstairs and then (get in the car and) drive there!"

He is his father's son, indeed :-P
