My Parents Came to Visit (in October)

One of the things that I realize as we have been out here is the spontaneity of being able to visit friends and family.  Skype has helped as we have been able to video chat from time to time with some friends and our families, but as I was reading back over some of our previous posts, I realized one of the things I never talked about was the visitors we have had out here, my parents!

My parents came out in mid-October (shows you how far behind I am) and I think at that point, they came out on the only weekend that it rained.  I hated that the weather wasn't great, but we still were able to go drive around and show them the area somewhat.  We took them to Biola, and showed them around campus, and drove out to Riverside to show them Poly and my classroom.  We also drove up the Pacific Coast Highway up through Malibu.  We were planning to possibly go to the Griffith Observatory as well, but the fog was simply too thick that day. 

It was a short couple of days, but I am so appreciative of them coming to visit.  It was nice to see a familiar face.  Hopefully, if we aren't able to head back east, we'll have a few more visitors this summer!  We've got a (comfortable) pull out sofa, and an air mattress, so plenty of room for visitors!
