Home for a rest
Home after twelve days of work in Southern California. Had a lot of down time so I actually got to go out and have some fun. Sure is different coming back to that glorious B.C. weather.
Spent the first part of the trip in the Los Angeles area, staying about a block and a half from Disneyland. I went over their first thing and bought things for Joshua, Colleen, and Lindsey. T-Shirts and stuffies and of course, mouse ears! That night, went to see the Anaheim Angels play the Cleveland Indians at Angel Stadium. The seats were horrible, right behind the right field foul pole, but it was still Major League baseball. The game was also kind of boring, with the Indians winning 3-0 behind a two hitter by Millwood and Wickman. I was still glad I went, but a little disappointed just the same.
Went to work in Newport Beach for two days. It is one of the richest communities in the U.S. with everybody driving some sort of German sedan LOL. Played the part of the gawking tourist as I have never been there before. There were a couple of properties in the 20 million dollar range on the market!! U.S. dollars!!
After we loaded there, we drove up to Sausalito, just to the north of San Francisco. Stopped and walked to the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge and threw a penny over the side, making a wish. A cruise ship passed below as I was up there, sailing out of the bay into the Pacific. I wished I would have had a video camera, it looked so beautiful. Had another day to kill, so figured "What the hell", and went down to Oakland for another ball game. The Oakland A's were taking on the world renowned New York Yankees. This time we had awesome seats, right behind first base in the second deck. The Yankees won by a 9-4 count. It was a great game with lots of action, A-Rod, Jeter, Mussina on the mound. What a game!!
Loaded off of a houseboat in Sausalito, and high tailed it back for the border. I always get a little sense of relief when I get back home. There is no place like Canada, and I am very proud to call myself a Canadian. Unloaded the Newport Beach shipment into a high rise on the Vancouver waterfront this morning, and finally got back to Victoria. Called my kids right away, and we went to Dairy Queen for some ice cream and hugs. I gave them their stuff from Disneyland, and we talked about what we were going to do when I get back from Santa Fe. I sure do miss them!!! We are going to do some sleepovers once I get back in about two weeks. I leave Thursday morning, so it is a rather quick turn around.
Tired and eager to sleep in my own bed tonight. Pleasant dreams to one and all, sleep tight.
See you when I see you.
