Our weekend trip to San Diego impressed upon me and Kevin what a great-natured girl we have! For 3 days in a row, Bridgette didn't get an afternoon nap, yet she remained charming during all our California adventures.
Friday was Bridgette's first trip to the beach where she did more than snooze on a blanket. And she gleefully trotted all over it.
"Oooh. What's this? What's that? And that?"
I imagined Bridgette saying this as she explored and explored. Kevin commented that she was the beach's official sand castle inspector. If she saw a castle that wasn't up to par, she dug right in and assisted.
We also loved taking Bridgette to the world famous San Diego zoo on Saturday. Once Bridgette got beyond the trauma of forced hat wear, she found the animals quite intriguing.
"Raffe! Raffe!" She mimicked us, pointing towards her cousin Lorin's favorite tall mammal. The coolest animal though (as voted on by all the cute Clifford kids - Kate, Emily and Andrew), was the hippopotamus. The awkward-looking beast, glided/galloped along its pond floor, next to the glass wall, right in front of our eager eyes.
Lastly, we took time out to lunch at the beautiful Four Seasons. Errol and Anastacia Phippen drove down from Dana Point to join us and the Cliffords. Bridgette ran and played on the patio with young Grace and Andrew. The adults caught up with each other over fancy food.
Thanks Chad and Michele for hosting us! We had a spectacular time!!

LOVE Bridgette's swim suit! You'd think I'd be able to find a cute one like that in FL but no such luck.
