10. Big Sur

Today I had a relaxing start and then watched Dorothy to give Carolyn a chance to do a few things. I took her for a walk in the stroller and before long I had a sleeping baby on my hands.  Such a beautifully placid wee thing, no fuss, no crying, just big smiles and occasionally a whimper.

Carolyn prepared food for Dorothy while I watched.  So carefully planned with balanced, healthy, fresh organic ingredients belnded to just the right consistency.  Wow, what a lucky wee girl.  Carolyn had tried to feed Dorothy solids for a while without success and yesterday Dorothy turned the corner and started taking the yumm looking food.  Today was no different and she quickly finished the bowl that was prepared for her, even letting me feed her.  Wow, little girl you are a star.

Tom and Evelyn arrive and we leave on a drive to Big Sur.  Admiring the beautiful scenery along the way  we soon arrive in Carmel where we stop for lunch. Dorothy sits happily in her high chair and joins in with the diners, even carefully checking out the menu.

Fed (crab cake to die for) and watered we continue the drive to Big Sur.  By now the fog had set in so our views were limited but I could tell that it would be stunning on a fine day.

Arriving in Big Sur we check out the views, wander the gorgeous shop, where Carolyn made some purchases and I bought Dorothy a wooden duck on a stick that waddles as you push it along. Dorothy is going to have to hold tightly onto this as I can see one adult eyeing it eagerly.

We have a wander and then head homewards again just in time to have a great BBQ dinner that Brandon prepared.  He can cook BBQ at my place anytime.
