Another crazy weekend

Saturday we spent a few hours at the Orange County Swap Meet. That was my first time there. It was huge! I'm happy to say that I still walked away with money in my purse. I got Tesshin a pair of sunglasses (which he won't wear) and another hat (that he also won't wear). It was such a hot day that I didn't want him to pass out from a heat stroke but he just wasn't feeling the hat. I also got some grapes. Tesshin calls them "bapes". He just loves grapes. I can't leave the produce aisle without a bag of them. Unfortunately since they're purchased by weight I have to pick them up last, put them first on the belt and then give him some while the cashier rings up the rest of the stuff. If I go to the produce aisle first, forget it, it's an all out cry fest. So anyway, during the day we did OCSM and then after that we had BBQ ribs for dinner. So yummy!


On Sunday morning, we had to go to LAX and pick up my dad. He was returning home from a 2 week trip to Japan (I'm so jealous!). We got there early but got mixed up about which airline he flew so we waited at the International Terminal for 30 minutes. All the while, he was waiting for us at the United Airlines terminal. Whoops...sorry Dad. He pretty much got over how mad he was at me because Tesshin kept smiling and saying "Jiichan". At one point, we were driving back to San Diego and my dad was telling me stories about his trip and Tesshin screams "QUIET!!!!!". He even put his finger to his lips and shushed us. What a brat!We got stuck in some traffic and my backseat driver says "Oh no". He cracked us up the whole way home. We got into San Diego at around 2:30, stopped at Carl's Jr for lunch and then Tessho did me a HUGE favor by picking up my mom and brother from the San Diego Airport. They were coming back from Denver. We have Chinese food that night since neither my mom nor I wanted to cook. We have fun that night rummaging through my dad's suitcase, going through all of the "omiage" that he brought back.

We left San Diego early that morning to avoid the holiday traffic and Tessho wanted to get home to mow the lawn before the trash guys came by the house. We were so pooped that we ended up napping with Tesshin in the afternoon. Or at least, I did.
