Monday 4/11
Matt and I drove around in the a.. to look at golf courses. We drove to Carmel Village which was very charming...it looks like there's lots of nice wineries. We finally found the new Clint Eastwood course...it is more secure than Fort Knox! There are no road signs and you can't even get a glimpse of the course. So much for that idea. We had lunch in Carmel outdoors, then made a reservation at Il Forniao for Sunday. Later on Mom went to Curves, Matt to the driving range, and I shopped (was Quinn with me?) I bought a Time magazine about the death of Pope John Paul. Mom and Quinn and I got an ice cream and we had a chance to show Quinn off to some shopgirls. Aunt Cake came for dinner with her calendar and we planned out the rest of vacation for dinners, etc. Matt grilled delicious steak for dinner; then we went for a walk with Matt's glass of wine! Grammy sure is getting a lot of quality time with Quinn...I feel guilty!
Tuesday 4/12
I had a nice run along the ocean, then I walked to town and picked up muffins. Quinn has been getting up once in the night for a feeding...then he goes right back to sleep. He is really starting to grab things...like my hair and Dad's glasses! We went to Target for an exersaucer, then Mom and I dropped off Matt to play golf at Poppy Hills. Mom, Quinn and I went to the Pebble Beach shops, then into town for a bit. I got lost going to Pebble Beach, so we got our money's worth on the drive. We picked up Matt around 5 and he had partnered up with a man from Queensbury NY. Tonight we had dinner at the school with the nuns. Lots of great crab, salad and bread. Quinn was the star of the night. Sister Carlotta loved holding him -- she had a huge smile on her face! We got to meet Perkin who is an adorable border terrier. He was extremely friendly!

Quinn's first trip to California, part 1
Saturday, April 9, 2005
We flew United (first class!) through Chicago and SF to Monterey. Quinn was great! I carried him in the Baby Bjorn in Bradley, then we used the stroller on the layovers. Besides Matt leaving his I-pod and headphones on the plane, the flight went very smoothly. We got to the house and Matt grilled chicken while we visited with Aunt Cake. Mom came back from her school reunion in San Francisco (900 people!) with her friends and their dog. "Tai Chi" did not like Quinn! Perhaps because Quinn was all over the rug showing off his "scooting" skills to Aunt Cake.
Sunday, April 10
Matt decided that Quinn needed to go to his first Giants game! After much convincing, we got Grammy to go with us. Our rental car is a Chevy Uplander -- a minivan/SUV hybrid with the world's largest gas tank. We stopped and called Mrs. Garvey, Matt's grandmother, but she was out. On to the game....Matt negotiated great seats down the third base line. Quinn was heavily sunblocked and covered up. After deciding that he was too hot, Matt purchased him a Giants onesie and changed him in a first aid room! At the game, fans booed the singer at the seventh inning stretch (why? I can't remember). The Giants won 10-4, Jason Schmidt had two hits in one inning. We called Mrs. Garvey from the stadium and she was home, so we were able to stop by for a visit! She was very happy to meet and hold Quinn and Mom was very glad to see her.
