Happy 4th Of July

Sections: Holidays — Posted @ 11:02 pm

We just got back from a wonderful evening of great food, company, and fireworks. All the Ladd clan migrated to my Grandpa and Grandma Ladd’s house for dinner and festivities. Most my relatives made the event and it was nice to see everyone. We ate some great hamburgers cooked by my Grandpa and then enjoyed a spectacular fireworks show on the front lawn. We are already reaping the benefits of living back in Bakersfield and are looking forward to many more family parties.

Memorial Day Weekend

Sections: Holidays — Posted @ 12:32 pm

My parents were in town for this Memorial Day weekend. My grandparents also came to town for Saturday. We all met at The Hofbrau in Morro Bay for lunch and then headed to Cal Poly’s Chumash Auditorium for the 5th year architecture student final project show. Both my brother and his girlfriend Jessie had their final projects on display. There were a lot of good projects but I have to say that I feel my brother’s and Jessie’s were defiantly among the best there. Of course
, I am pretty biased. You can take a look at the projects yourself, photos are available in my photo album.

My grandparents left to go back to Bakersfield after the show and the rest of my family ended up at our apartment for a BBQ. The dinner was delicious and it was nice to hang out all evening as a family.

My mom and Aliciana went to church on Sunday morning and then we all grabbed a bite to eat at Cugini’s. From there we headed up to see the elephant seals that sun themselves on a beach 15 miles north of San Simeon. My mom and dad had never seen them before. The elephant seals, as usual, were quite amazing to watch. Photos of them are also available in my photo album.

We had dinner in a good Mexican restaurant in San Simeon and then headed back to San Luis Obispo. Monday morning we had breakfast at Hobee’s and then said good bye to my mom and dad. They will be back in 10 days for Aliciana’s graduation so it was more like a see you later than a good bye.

Happy Mother’s Day

I would like to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to my wonderful mother, Toni Ladd. I love you and I hope you have a great day today. We have been through our tough times but I wouldn’t change anything because it made me the man I am today.
