Laguna Beach to Royal Oaks with Dad

Dad and I drove north to see my sister, Jen, and her husband, Brock, in Royal Oaks, California. It was a nice reunion as we hadn't seen each other together since my grandmother's funeral in 2013. Below are some photo highlights.

Visiting Family in Southern California

Rikki and I have been in San Diego for the past week visiting his mom and dad. Yesterday, I drove up to Laguna Beach to visit my dad and stepmother. Dad is doing well at 85, a bit hard of hearing, but thank goodness nothing going on medically. My stepmother, Sue, fell a few weeks ago and is not walking well, needing someone to walk with her now until she recovers.

Dad and I got away for a day at the beach today. It was awesome to spend quality time together. Sue also spent the day with her daughter, Linda.

Below are some photos from today (and one from 50+ years ago).
