Jennifer just left for the 2nd leg of her trip today :(. We had a great time while she was here! Jennifer arrived on Wednesday after an uneventful and mercifully short flight. The 3 of us (Jennifer, Simone, and me) went on a drive up the coast through Malibu and Pacific Palisades on HWY 1. While the views were stunning, Simone just wasn't a happy camper (she usually loves car rides) so we had to do a bit more managing of Simone than normal. Jennifer graciously sat in the back of the car most of the time so she could reinsert Simone's pacifier when she spit it out. (Side note: we've decided to use a pacifier, with mixed feelings. I cannot believe she is old enough to spit it out to get attention, but she does seem to like playing this game whether she knows it or not!. For now, we'll keep using it - it does seem to sooth her - but we're watching this carefully!)
Yesterday we went for a walk on the Manhattan beach boardwalk. There are some very fancy houses which are almost as impressive as the ocean view. Then we went to the Getty Museum, which I think was a highlight for Jennifer. It really is such a stunning place - a great place to get away when you've had enough of LA congestion! Simone's temperament was much better yesterday and seemed to enjoy the fresh air at both Manhattan Beach and the Getty.
glad you guys had a good time. I know Jen was really looking forward to her visit!
