Queen Bea arrives in San Deigo

We have a new fan or should I say that Don Don (John) has a new fan and an ever growing ego. Queen Bea came to visit and it
wonderful to have her company (and that of her parents) for the weekend..

We ate lots, went to places (old favorites - Tartine and new discoveries -missions) and got to hang out with Queen Bea. She is getting so cute and turning from a baby that still clutches onto my breast to one that has developed an excellent method of ordering Don Don around to the point that he does whatever she says - I wish I could do that.. Now Bea all you need to learn by the next visit is "Don Don, clean up please" and "Don Don, computer games are a time suck"












Thanks to the Jarvis we headed out to visit our first mission and this mission is the first mission built north of the Border. Known as San Diego De Alcala, it was founded on July 16th, 1769 and is located in area that is now aptly referred to as Mission Valley - to fellow San Diegans, note that this not just the place where the shopping mall is!!


As you can see Beatrice and John hung out alot. He taught her how to play computer games, stick her fingers in her nose, wear his shoes, and she taught him her game of "Don, sit"


These two had a lot of fun together. I have no idea what makes John so interesting... it must be all the toys that he has... We both still mimic BiBi's (as she refers to herself) facial expressions when she says no... and hot... What is also great to see is the heathly appetite that Beatrice has. She loves fruit and vegetables and olives and blueberries... she is so easy to cook for..

Sarah and I did manage to sneak out for a bit on the Saturday to head to Nordstroms to check our wedding dresses. Sarah is great at convincing old saleswomen to allow us to try on dresses without an appointment.. We did try on a few and I realised that I need to lose all the weight I have put on (6kg as of today) since arriving in the US in order to look remotely decent in one of these dresses... liposuction and spanx here we come!

Let me just say in Don Don's support that computer games are not a time suck, and are a nutritious part of the daily entertainment buffet.
