California

June 2008

I had to travel to LA for a training class, and when I wanted to find a way to bring Sam, Kelly volunteered to be his caretaker all week.  All 3 of us had a great time, and Sam and Kelly really got to know and love each other.  Thanks, Kel.  We miss you already!

Sam and Mommy at Roy's in Anaheim

The food was just as good as the food at Roy's in Poipu.  We had kalua pork spring rolls, golden lobster potstickers, and blackened seared ahi for appetizers.  Mmmmm.
