Okay, it's time for Part Two of Christmas. Brad's mom and dad arrived on the 26th and we had a fun visit with them. Here are some pictures from breakfast at a favorite place with a name I really like, The Coffee Cup Cafe.
More at breakfast.
And another.
Next up: Congregation Ale House.
Most of our group (except the photographer) in downtown Long Beach.
Having had a successful outing at Congregation, we decided to walk down the block to Beechwood Brewing. We sat outside and enjoyed a gorgeous day.
A day of sitting outside around a table together is a great way to spend a day.
The best part was the company we got to spend it with.
The next morning we all gathered for breakfast before Brad's parents went back home to Arizona. Mary had already flown home the previous night so our group was quickly shrinking.
For John and Troy's last day the four of us drove up to Venice Beach and we took a long walk on a sunny afternoon. In the evening we took these two beer lovers to two final and fantastic breweries: Firestone Walker (in Venice) and Brouwerij West (in San Pedro). The next morning they were on a flight back to St. Louis. As always we were sad to have everyone go but we were glad to have gotten to spend a lot of time with so many who are dear to us.
P.S. Meanwhile back in Washington DC, Mary and Andy moved into their apartment!
