Recap - June 2009

It's still June, so I'm not that behind with this update...

June started with a quick work trip to Anaheim for the Institute of Food Technologists' Annual Meeting. On the way down, F and I stopped at the Getty Center to meet up with Rachel and Nik for the afternoon. It was nice, but seeing the whole place in 8 hours was a bit overwhelming.We went over to West Hollywood for dinner at Le Petit Four. I am really surprise this place has 3.5 stars on Yelp. It isn't THAT good (and not "French" from an authentic Frenchie). The other dinning establishments on the trip weren't very good either (Buca di Beppo, Aroma Bakery Cafe, House of Blues). And I didn't step foot on Disneyland except for the group dinner at House of Blues.

Then Emily graduated from Cal Poly.She is official with her new shinny BFA.The family spent the weekend together and Emily was nice enough to share the spotlight a little.Ok not with me, but with everyone's favorite 9-month old.Who keeps getting cuter and cuter.It was also Princess' second experience with a baby, but the first with a moving baby.She is definitely extremely nervous of other small, moving mammals, so she never stopped watching and kept her distance.
Lastly, Ben and I tried our hands at gardening and are happy to report our green thumbs are starting to take shape. There are four new bushes in the front, 2 indoor plants were re-potted into 4, and we added 3 indoor plants and 2 herbs.
Even though summer is here with consecutive triple digit temperatures, life is good.
