Family
It's been a weekend full of family. My parents arrived Thursday afternoon with the car. We went to dinner at El Torito, which was delicious. and they saw the apartment, met the kittens. On Friday (after my horrible day at work), Mom and Dad picked Jess up at the airport and Gen, Nora (who is visiting) and I met them at Cheesecake Factory. Two hours later, we ate.
On Saturday, we took a dry run for Jessica's internship, then went to the Getty Center. We took a garden tour, which was very interesting. The gardens are still in their winter bloom, so I definitely have to go back during the summer. We ate at the cafe (good food!) and then saw some of the artwork. The Impressionists, as always, are my favorite. I remembered why I like Pissarro and rather dislike Cezanne. And they had a few Monets, which made me happy.
After that, we went to see Inside Man. Good movie. Go see it. :)
Then, we grabbed some cheesecake and went down to the airport hotel where Mom and Dad stayed for the night before taking off yesterday morning. It was so nice to see them and to spend time together, the four of us. I miss that.
Yesterday Jess and I did some shopping for odds and ends she needed, and that was about it.
So, Jess is here for three months. It'll be a good time, good to have her.
