Silvia's Last Day

So today was Silvia's last day and Lisa is supposed to be dropping her off at the airport for a 9 PM flight back to Paris tonight. She was supposed to see the Kederians in the morning but I told her that if she got back by lunch, we could go for a goodbye lunch or something. I didn't think it was any big deal since Johnnie and I are just hanging around the house and actually just resting from yesterday's Knott's Berry Farm adventure. I had picked up a head cold either from Johnnie or Gayane and I'm a little congested and my throat is a little sore from all the phlegm. And so I thought I would just chill and rest for the day. But Silvia called around 11 AM that she was actually at the house and taking me up on the lunch thing. And so, I got Johnnie all readied up and picked up Silvia and headed to the Third Street Promenade. I figured that would be the place where we could have choices of restaurants. And we actually ended up at Cheesecake Factory. We had done this with Silvia once before at the same Cheesecake Factory some 4, maybe 5 years ago when she was here. And she remembered it. As it was we ate outside at the patio, had a nice view of Broadway and Third, had some really good food, lots of chicken for Silvia and we ended up having a pretty nice lunch actually. And then afterwards, since the Cayton Children's Museum was right next door, and Silvia had actually found it last weekend, we went ahead and did an hour or so for the kids. And so her last day turned out to be a pretty eventful one after all. We dropped her off, hugged her goodbye and finally off we went home so I could get my nap. No trips anywhere tonight as I remember being stuck on the 10 Freeway one year when we went to Elaine's house. No food for the hungry either like many night-before-thanksgivings of year's past. It was just me and Johnnie, some penne pasta for him and beef broccoli for me. We have the rest of the weekend to do still... But in the meantime, here are the pics from today as it really was the highlight of the day...
