Emma and Zach were racing about the house gathering clothing and items they were packing for Paso Robles. Dave loaded the car while Erin cheffed up a terrific dinner of pasta Alfredo with fresh shrimp, mushrooms and garlic served up with buttered French bread and Merlot while we caught up with one another over this week's events. Today was Emma and Zach's last day of school before summer vacation was officially underway.
We ate dinner while watching Susanna Salk tour homes of famous designers. One of our favs was Timothy Corrigan's French chateau.

The kids finished packing, Erin finished laundry and Dave joined us as the rain continued to fall and the sounds of thunder could stll be heard in the distance.
Erin and I enjoyed a cup of chamomile and anise flavored tea served with choclate marshmellow cookies as the kids toddled off to bed.
After a breakfast of bacon and eggs they were off to Paso Robles to visit family promising to take pix for our family album.
The rain had ceased sometime during the pre-dawn hours. The morning was beautiful with blue skies, sunshine and warmish temps which has given way to clouded skies with a soft breeze that is once again gently swaying through the foliage and tree tops.

Vacation. Begins. Woot!
