Jim's mom, Bev, came out to visit over the memorial day weekend. Work has been crazy for Jim the past couple of months so it was nice for him to be able to take a couple of days off while Bev was here so they could spend time together. Maddux was really excited to have her "mimi" around to play with her, take her for walks and take naps. Thursday I had to work so Jim, Bev and Maddux took advantage of the awesome weather and went to the dog beach for a few hours. Maddux was in heaven and worn out for pretty much the rest of the weekend.
Friday was a big day, Jim's 27th birthday. We spent the day celebrating by going on a harbor cruise around the San Diego bay. The weather couldn't have been any better.
Since we weren't able to spend Mother's day with Bev, we decided to celebrate a late Mother's day as well by going to George's in La Jolla for lunch. If you are ever out in San Diego and are looking for a great place to eat with unbeatable views, you have to go to George's and sit on the terrace...nothing beats the California coastline. Needless to say, Bev loved it.
One thing Bev wanted to do while she was out visiting was go to a baseball game. It worked out that the Padres were home this weekend so the three of us went down to the game and met up with my parents. The bonus for going to the game, free Chase Headley bobble heads. Not sure what I will do with mine but hey, they were free. The Padres won so the night ended on a high note!
The rest of the weekend was nice and relaxful. We spent some more time with my parents for Jim's birthday lunch, took Maddux on walks, played games and just enjoyed the company of having Bev here. We were sad to see her leave but look forward to seeing her and Ray in a month when we head back to Chicago for Jim's friends wedding in July. I think Bev was more sad to leave Maddux than us. We know though that Maddux misses her "mimi".
