Hazen's Time in California

I generally didn't take very many pictures when I was in California, because Hazen was so sick, but I did take a few. On our way there, even though he felt so crappy, he was a GEM on the plane! We had the row all to ourselves, which made a huge difference. For the most part, Hazen snuggled right up with me and fed me crackers and gave me sips of his drink, but when he wanted the option, he enjoyed standing on the other seat.

It's hard to fit restaurants that have taken me 16 years to grow to love into just a few days, but I tried! We went to In-N-Out, Chevy's, Tomatinas, Rising Loafer, and I was PLANNING on going to Domenicos, but that was sadly impossible due to the parade held for Cpt. Sullenburger. Hazen got to spend a little bit of time with his Lee cousins, Karinne, and Dominic. Unfortunately, I narrowly missed Zachary, and wasn't able to meet him, but I saw Benjamin again, and he's HUGE!!!!


I went and visited the Hall's, and also our old neighbors, the Schembris. It's always good to see old friends who you haven't seen in a while! My old friend, Marissa Clark, from High School met us for some Sunday brunch at Rising Loafer. While we were there on less than positive circumstances, I'd say that Hazen and I had a more than positive time!
