We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend out of town; in Bakersfield of all places. On Saturday morning, we headed north. We got to Bakersfield before lunch and just sat and chatted with my cousin, aunt, and grandmother. We did some catching up and story swapping. Aunt Benita made lunch and then Matt took Kevin out shooting. Kevin had a blast! He four different guns and hit 3 out of 5 clay pigeons; not bad for his first time ever! I think Kevin enjoyed it so much he might actually go dove hunting in 2009. Kevin always has his Fantasy Football draft the end of August/beginning of September, and nothing interferes with the guy’s weekend for the draft. But Labor Day isn’t until September 7th next year; it all depends on if they will go out again on Labor Day, or if after dove season opens on the first, all the birds are gone. We’ll have to see.
That evening, we had a wonderful tri-tip feast with veggies and beans and garlic bread! And Mimi made her famous margaritas. Yum. For dessert we had the See’s chocolates we picked out that afternoon. We watched the baseball game during dinner; well, the boys watched it. Ray’s lost on Saturday to come back to clinch it on Sunday. I like rooting for the underdog; Tampa Bay Rays, Aaron Rogers, Tennessee Titans, etc.
Sunday, Kevin got up early, and Mike and Mikey took him golfing, while I slept in. It was perfect for Kevin, nice and clear, and not too hot! I got up and hand tea with my aunt and grandmother. The guys came back and watched football while we ran some more errands. Then Mimi took us out to a very nice Chinese dinner. I love the egg flour soup!
We were sad we didn’t have more time, but it was really nice to see my family (even though Missy was away at school – so sad). Next time we go back, Matt is going to take us horse back riding.
