Malia's 1st Road Trip-San Diego, Day 4

Day 4....Daniel woke up early to golf with his dad, brother-Erick and Chris-Auntie Liz's boyfriend. They golfed across the street from our hotel-RiverWalk Golf Course. Daniel and Erick were competing against one another for the family trophy. Daniel golfed with rented clubs (and two broken arms and a complete loss of his vision and feeling below his waist), so he wasn't able to get his game on... so sadly he lost the trophy by 1 stroke. How sad... the trophy was only displayed in our living room for 4 months. But Daniel being the optimist, he knows the next time he golfs with Erick and/or his dad the trophy will become his again!

While Daniel was golfing, Malia and I went shopping (also across the street from our hotel) at Fashion Valley Mall. We (or I) ate at Nordstrom Cafe and had a delicious Parmesan Crusted Chicken Salad and a cup of Tomato Basil Soup.... the best soup and salad I've ever had. Malia was really good while I was eating my lunch. She too was enjoying her food or well I guess more like a snack... Cherrios! We headed back to the hotel around 1ish which was around the same time Daniel finished golfing. We all rested before we went to dinner with the Saiz's.

6:15pm...dinner reservations at Piatti's in La Jolla.....Abel, Lori & Gabriel's favorite Italian restaurant. It was a very nice restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. All of our entrees looked really good and were very reasonably priced. Unfortunately, we did not take a lot of pictures, but we have a couple of special moment pictures.

Great Grandma Saiz bonding with Malia.

Malia and Grandpa Abel are sad to say goodbye. ;)
