Young Family




Michael’s nephew, wife, 3-year old daughter and 7-month of son were with us for a lovely afternoon last Friday. Kloe, the 3-year old, is very self-sufficient and Jack, the 7-month old, is a very happy, mellow baby. They are sooo lucky.

We gave the E-ticket tour of the house and gardens then headed down the coast for lunch. The weather was warm and the ocean was the deep beautiful blue with impressive waves. It smelled so crisp and clean.

Kloe has clearly been in many restaurants and enchanted all who were near her. We ate the special artichoke soup, crab sandwiches, fresh snapper and chips and I even had cooked oysters! Perfect restaurant for kids and they were impressed that Guy from the Food Network filmed one of the “Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives” shows at this restaurant.

The baby goats at the Harleigh Goat Farm were a huge hit! They were a week old and in a small pen. Kloe and her dad were able to go in and pet the goats. She was so gentle and sweet with the brand new goats. Lots of photos!

We drove back along the coast. I had made a 12” chocolate cake and bought balloons for: Dan’s birthday, Kristina’s acceptance to nursing school, Kloe because she is three-years old and for Baby Jack because, well because he is Jack. The cake was a huge success! Great flavor. We sent the leftovers back to the twin’s house, where they are staying.

I loved getting to know Kristina. She is a very smart, strong woman and they are both excellent parents. They worked seamlessly together as a team throughout the day. It was a pleasure and a joy to spend some time with them.

I fell into bed at 8:00 and slept 11 hours. It will take the next few days to recover. It was so worth it.
