California-vacation (Californation)

Vic loves to travel.  That is no doubt.  She says I'm the best travel buddy she has ever had.  We went to California (the land of fruits and nuts) to visit family and old re-acquainted friends.  While there, we got to do sight seeing, and eat very good Mexican and Cal-Mex food along with some very special different cousine.

This story is about the our friends and there daughter.  Keith is an old time friend that I went to school from 1st. grade to 12th. (P.L.P.
see next post)  Sometime along the way after graduation, we parted ways, and never turned back from our Little town of Manchester.  Keith's wife is a native Californian from Huntington beach. They have 4 wonderful kids, Emily, Alex, Jack, and Andrew.  Emily is away at school, and sent a picture to her Mom and Dad, that looked like this:

Emily said it was not permanent, and Keith and Roberta were permanently not happy!

When Keith and Roberta found out about this little secret of a tattoo, they freaked out.  Vic is in the background trying to calm down Mom and Dad, saying our daughter has some, and she has not turned to the dark side of life (Shelby #3) .  Calm Calm....


Keith had an Idea, and this is what they did, take a picture in response to hers.

Great idea, but it was an ink pen.  I said is should have said "W.T.H." for what the heck were you thinking.  We all got a good laugh about this and I'm sure there were some more conversations between daughter and parents about this little secret.

Just another story of what Californation will do to people...

Vic and I loved being with Keith and Roberta for the week.  Golf, Food, sight seeing, and fun with the boys.  What a week.

Were planning on seeing them again real soon, either in Michigan, Cabo, or Cali....
