July 5th 2015 Short Visit To Temecula

No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one. ~Elbert Hubbard

Off We Go With The Chartier's In Hot Pursuit

Pete and Lisa stayed overnight from the July 4th celebrations and are joining us in Temecula with Jon for a while.

We had lunch at Falkner Winery and then dropped Jon off to see his great grandmother Feltz for a short visit (it's important for kids/young adults to visit their family).

Pete and Lisa left from Temecula to go home (Lisa has to work) and we headed back to Los Angeles to go to the Himalayan Grill for dinner! 

Life is busy!
