On the Road Again

Saturday morning, Mrs. Kestrel and I, together with our middle son who lives here in Rapid City, will fly to Los Angeles, where we’ll meet up with our other sons (flying in from St. Louis and New York City). We’ll then head up to California’s Central Coast—the Morro Bay/Los Osos/San Luis Obispo area—for a family reunion.

Sunday will be a large family brunch in honor of my mother-in-law and her approaching 81st birthday (Feb. 29, so she really doesn’t get one this year). All told there will be 15 of us at brunch. Our immediate family will stay in the area through Wednesday, when we’ll drive back down to the Los Angeles area for some sightseeing and a Thursday trip to Disneyland for my 4-year-old granddaughter (not that the rest of us won’t be enjoying the Magic Kingdom, either!)

Friday night my brother-in-law is hosting dinner, complete with his home-brewed beers and homemade wines. Should be a fantastic evening. Then on Saturday, back to reality (i.e., freezing temperatures, snow, ice; in other words, winter in the Midwest).

So for the next 8 days, there won’t be much going on at the Aerie; however, I do have an add-on review scheduled to debut on Monday morning. In the meantime, Happy Valentine’s Day, Happy Presidents’ Day, and enjoy Love is in the Air!
