Our First (and Maybe Last) Day Off

Today we got to take a walk down to Cabrillo beach.  It turns out the whale fiesta is next weekend, but there was a huge memorial service for John Olguin who was a community leader in San Pedro.  They shot off cannons from a freighter and had fireworks.  If you want to read more about him, click here:  http://robocaster.com/presstelegram/podcast-episode-home/passages-ci_16995879/john-olguin-89-san-pedros-grandfather-to-everyone-dies-volunteer-and-former-cabrillo-marine-aquarium-chief-helped-organize-the-polar-bears-club.aspx

When we got home, we met our neighbors, Tracy and Matt, also renting from Margie.  They are a young couple who have just moved from... drumroll please...  Ft. Walton Beach , Florida.  For thise of you who don't know, it's the next town over from our family's beach house in Destin.  Tracy worked in the management department of the Silver Sands Outlet mall (rignt across the street from the Gills' beach house.)

After watching "Transformers" (really?  I have never met a high school girl that is remotely as hot as Megan Fox) and "Batman, um, 47?," we were off to bed, to wake up to a call from Lindora saying that her water broke.  So we are waiting until her contractions start to take her to the hospital.  She is having second thoughts about going to a different hospital.  We told her we would take her anywhere she wants to go, we just want her to be comfortable and happy.  We will keep you posted!
