Monterey has something going on nearly every weekend. Do we take advantage of all the adventures offered? Not nearly as much as we should. But, this weekend I took advantage of the energy my mind told me I had (because my hubby would be home for 4 straight days). We took in the Marina Air and Car show with planes dating back to WWII and cars dating back further. Luke is in-love with the P-51 Mustangs (no girls, they're not cars). I wanted him to take a once-in-a-lifetime ride up in a P-51. It was $750. So I wanted Luke to take a ride in a plane. We all, Porter and Afton included, took a ride in the "Beechcraft" which was built in 1942 and used for training. Price: $60. Who needs that once-in-a-lifetime ride up in a heroic WWII fighter plane!? 
Pilot: Will Ferrell's Brother
Porter w/ P-51 Mustang
Guilty Pleasure: 1.Abundance of unconditional love from husband and children. 2. A 4 Day weekend with my Hubby!!!
Guilty Indulgence: 
Ate a pint
Made this to make myself feel better later: Turkey/veggie Burger with spinach, org. wholewheat bun, and green drink. 
Luke is SO much more creative than I am. Porter has so much fun imagining with him. Today Luke told Porter a story about a mommy dog and all her puppys. After the story he went so far as to find stuffed animals to play the parts of all the doggies from the story. At the end of the re-enactment all of Porter's Sesame street babies got to pick a puppy to take home with them. Then Luke Lined all the Sesamie Street Babies up along the wall with their puppies(plus a lamb & a walrus, to stand in since we ran out of puppies). Then Porter decided to grab the mommy doggy and sit down in the line up with the rest of the characters. This was a golden photo-op we just couldn't pass up...

You guys rode in a plane?! That's awesome! Is that really Will Ferrell's brother? It looks just like him.
I love that pic of you looking at Porter...so cute.
Your burger looks good! You make that look ALMOST as appealing as the ice cream.
And Porter and the stuffed animals...that's the cutest think ever.
Fer-reals, that's Will Ferrell's brother?
That is so cute that Luke made up a story for Porter, complete with visual aids.
Lucky...looks like so much fun in that plane!! Love the whole story and props Luke set up for Porter! I can totally see Jon doing the same thing when Noah gets older. It's so much fun to watch the interaction between fathers & sons!!
