John and his Dad thought this tree was cool
Crazy salt shakers at the art fair, I bought a set!
On our hike
Getting coffee in downtown San Juan
I am a week late but I want to take the time to recap our visitors from last weekend. Rho and Bill came to town last Thursday night and stayed for a few days. Since they have been to visit before we didn't have to pack in as much sight seeing which of course left more time for eating. John and I had to work Friday so we let Rho and Bill explore on their own. Then on Friday night we went to Pacific Cuisine just up the road for some delicious Chinese food. They serve it family style so we all split beef with broccoli, chicken fried rice, sesame chicken, and kung pao delight. Every dish was so good, definitely the best Chinese food around. On Saturday morning John made us breakfast, which consisted of a huge breakfast bake full of lots of good stuff, one of his best creations yet. Then we all watched this really cool surf video called Walking on Water. It is about these 2 kids that spend several months with this older professional surfer going around the world to the most well know surf spots. It is put together by a christian based surf group so there is also a really strong message about God and it was a great video. It is funny to hear people that talk like surfers and use a lot of California slang saying these amazing things about God. It just sounds so different than what I am used to hearing people talk like in KY. After our movie time we headed off to downtown San Juan Capistrano which is the next town over from us. John and I just discovered how cool their downtown was a couple weeks ago and knew John's parents would like it. There is a whole street full of little gift/art type shops and lots of little cafes. We got coffee at one cafe and then walked down the block exploring all the stores. Then we had lunch outside at the Hummingbird Cafe and it was delicious. I was the only one to totally finish my meal, I am such a good eater. After our afternoon of exploring his parents took a nap and John and I went on a nice beach walk. We then had to get ourselves ready for dinner, which was at Avila's Mexican restaurant. Once again we consumed way to much food and then went home to fall asleep. Sunday John made pancakes for breakfast and then we all headed up to the farmers market. We got some supplies for dinner that night and John's mom got some fresh flowers for the house. We took John's mom for a hike over in San Juan. We tried a new trail and it had really great views of the coast. For dinner John put ribs, chicken, and asparagus in the smoker. He also grilled peppers, zucchini, and squash. All I had to do was make the salad and we were set. Needless to say the whole next week John and I didn't have to cook because we had enough leftovers for the whole week. John's Dad had a birthday Monday so we enjoyed some cake in celebration. Just for fun we all watched our wedding video and laughed at the various performances on the dance floor. I can't believe in just a couple months John and I will have been married 2 years, crazy. I am going to write another blog this week to recap our interesting Coachella weekend, stay tuned.
