June 2026

 June calmed down....ever so slightly! Andy and I went to a dinner with some friends in a field. It was a fun experience! 

Giugno era un po' piu' calmo.... Io e Andy siamo andati a una cena segreta (ti dicono dove sara' il giorno prima e il menu' e un segreto fino a quella sera) con dei amici. Sei a un tavolo con tanta gente che non conosci e parli con tutti. Era molto bello.

I met Jack when he was 3 and I nannied him for many years. He was in town for a work conference and came to visit us one morning! Crazy how long I have known him!

Emilia and I flew out to Salt Lake to spend some time with my mom. She loved watching all of the people on the tarmac and did so great on the flights!

Summer at the Old Globe

A while back, I had purchased tickets to go see Meteor Shower, a play directed by Steve Martin, at the Old Globe in Balboa Park. After that, they kept calling me to purchase more tickets and eventually, I gave in. It was the best decision I've made in a while. The Old Globe is comprised of three theaters in Balboa Park and the productions they put on are amazing. I purchased tickets for the Spring Season as well as the Summer Season and just purchased tickets for the Winter Season. The other awesome thing is because I hadn't turned 30 yet, my ticket was $20. So I truly couldn't pass it up.
Un po' di tempo fa, ho preso biglietti per andare a vedere uno spettacolo al Old Globe che era scritta da Steve Martin. Dopo di che, mi hanno continuato a chiamare per comprare altri biglietti e non gli ho mai presi. Pero', un giorno, mi hanno convinto perche' il mio biglietto costava solo $20. Allora, ho cominciato a comprare i biglietti per la stagione. Sono molto contenta di aver scelto di comprare i biglietti perche' fanno davvero dei bel spettacoli!

Simone's Fall Break

For Simone's Fall Break, he drove out to visit. He hadn't been to San Diego in a while, so it was great to have him here for a few days. I worked, but we were able to do some fun things while he was here.
Simone aveva delle vacanze da scuola allora e' venuto a San Diego. Era un po' di tempo che non veniva, allora era bello averlo qua per un po'. Io ero a scuola, pero', siamo riusciti a fare tante cose!

Brunch at Brooklyn Girl

After brunch, we headed to the Fleet Science Center to see the Art of the Brick exhibition.
Poi, siamo andati al museo a vedere una mostra di Lego.

Nathan Sawaya is the artist

I LOVED this exhibit. I would go back and see it again!

Dinner at Puesto. 

Really Simone? 

Fun times with a butterfly mural

His last day in town, we woke up early and were first in line (well second) for Donut Bar! They were tasty! Then, it was off to Vegas for Simone and off to Portland for me!
L'ultima mattina, ci siamo svegliati presto per andare a Donut Bar. Erano buonissimi! Poi, Simone e' andato a Las Vegas e io sono andata a Portland.
