Elizabeth finds the pool


So we packed Elizabeth into the car and headed south to beautiful LaJolla--which only took us about an hour--to meet our friends Ginny and Craig and some of their family. We met Ginny and Craig on one of our cruises through the Baltics (ahh...those were the days!). We were thrilled to get to see them on their family tour through California.

And it was a wonderful visit and a momentous one as well--Elizabeth had her first swimming experience (outside of the bathtub) with dada and Callie and she had a blast. We couldn't drag her out of the pool and I suspect we will be making a lot of visits to our neighborhood pool.












Here are Ginny and Elizabeth trading fashion secrets--and Elizabeth is wearing Callie's sunglasses. Darling....you look divine!



Here you can see that our little darlin' adapts well to the laid back California lifestyle.



So who would have thought that having a nine year old girl around would be such a big help? Well, if the little girl is Callie--it can be a great help. Craig and Ginny's granddaughter Callie was lovely and sweet and so charming with Elizabeth. She managed to be a little mommy all afternoon and I was even able to eat my own lunch for once! Callie did a great job feeding her and entertaining her. Oh...now why can't Callie live next door? Elizabeth was crazy about her--can you blame her?








Craig and Ginny's granddaughter Sophia and her mom Neva joined us at the pool. Is that the cutest smile!



Here is Elizabeth with Craig having fun modeling his designer sunglasses!
