Temecula, CA (USA)

Woke up at 0730 and had breakfast at the Glorietta Bay Inn. Next, I went over to the flight line in an attempt to help the crew in getting parts.  While there, I met up with Nick and some other guys I know. Got some work done on the computer, too. Went back to the hotel at around 0930. My cousin, John, picked me up around 1015 and drove me to his home. On the way there we got to stop for immigration checks along I-15. Met up with Ann and the boys and learned that Mary and Leo were in town, too! They arrived soon after and immediately wanted to head over to the Wilson Creek Winery to buy almond champagne. We stopped for a bite to eat the the Inn & Out Burger and then drove over to enjoy one of the perks of our Wine Club membership. Mary and Leo had never been before, so we tried lots of different drinks and bought lots of bottles! Afterwards, we headed back to John & Ann's - somehow, the kids were still excited to go do something. Watched the boys hit golf balls at the driving range and chatted for most of the afternoon - weather was great! At 1800, drove over to BJ's (a micro-brewery that serves pizza and burgers). Had a good beer and buffalo chicken pizza and spent some time with Shannon and Sean. Went back to John's at around 2000 (they asked me to stay with them) and said goodbye to Mary and Leo. Watched a little TV, but went to bed rather early, since John wants to get up at 0400...
