Visit from Flat Stacy

Flat Stacy, sister to Flat Stanley, was mailed to us for a visit.  With our trip pending, Stacy had a quick tour to learn more about San Diego.

 She toured our garden, smelled the roses in bloom in March.

 Was inspired by our lettuce garden...maybe more veggies are in her future?!

 Orange blossoms are nearly ready to bloom.  She could nearly smell the sweet nectarine perfume from the tree.

 Our first nectarine fruit is forming.  

(Soon I'll be snipping all the fruit off to promote deeply established roots.  Hopefully this will help the trees survive the brutally hot dry months here)

 Stacy came to work with me and we took a walk around the San Diego State University campus at lunch.  It was a beautiful day.

 Picture with the first president of SDSU :)

 The library...mostly underground.

 This is the new student center, it is huge.  This will house some activities such as bowling, possibly a movie theatre and of course eateries among other things.  SDSU tore down the previous student center built in the 1970s to expand.

 This is the Children's Center, where Elena goes to school/day care.  She's right on campus with me.

 The kids have been into space exploration so a corner of one of the two classrooms available to Elena has been transformed into a space station, imagination abound.  Elena was not thrilled at having to hold Stacy; I guess paper dolls are not her thing.

 Checking out one of the control seats.

 Taking her first airplane ride...we're boarded and ready to go.

Thanks for the visit.  We hope you had a great time, Stacy, even if it was short!
