Today is Saturday, May 1, 2010 and you to visit your Daddy. We really missed having you with us. The weather was gorgeous so Mommy & I decided to take the top off the Jeep and go on a road trip. We can't wait to take you in the Jeep when the top is off because you will really love it.
We came across these beautiful rocks, mustard fields,
and the green hillsides while out on our drive ...

Next...
We passed this billboard that made me remember
Randy Pausch and the wonderful gift of the
"Last Lecture" he shared with the world ... Remind me
someday when you are older I will tell you about him.
I took Mommy to have a facial...
The pretty lady doctor you liked did the facial...
Here is a beautiful picture of your Mommy. You are a lucky little
guy to have such a beautiful and loving mommy.
Once we were all done, Mommy and I stopped off to get her an
original Cupid Hotdog before heading off to drive along the beach ...
Afterwards Mommy and I met up with Papa and Uncle Brandon
for a special dinner out to Celebrate a "Grown Up" Mother's Day.
Mommy came up with the idea for us to try out a place called
"The Melting Pot". This is a fondue place that is a lot of fun. We made it
"grown up only" because we were afraid you might burn your hands on the hot burners
on the table or the fondue pots. When you are a bit older Nonna will take you to try it.
Here area few pictures from our dinner taken withe my iPhone.
First course started with a Cheese Fondue and they gave
us bite size breads, apples, and vegetables to dip in it with long cooking forks...
Here is the part where Mommy was loading up her long cooking fork and
poked herself in the hand with it...
Here she is showing her boo boo.
Wish you were here to kiss it better for her.
But she didn't let it stop her from
eating and having fun with the family...
Here is Mommy and Uncle Brandon. Uncle Brandon has his
hair cut short because he will be going into the Navy in a month.
It's hard to believe Mommy is the "big sister" when Uncle Brandon
is twice her size.
Here is Nonna and Papa being silly...
Here we are trying to not act so silly. It didn't last long...
Here is Uncle Brandon dipping his food in the pot..
We had steak, shrimp, chicken, Salmon, Potatoes and Broccoli...
Here we let some of the meat cook for a few minutes
Everyone's favorite part was the dessert.
We had two chocolate fondue pots going
(white chocolate with amaretto and milk chocolate with peanut butter).
They served the yummy treats below to dip in the chocolate.
We had a wonderful time laughing together and being silly. Your Mommy said
this was a wonderful "Mother's Day" treat for her...
I can't wait for you to return tomorrow so we can
talk about what we want to do special for Mommy
for her real "Mother's Day" with you next Sunday ...
