California, Here We Come!

can't wait...My youngest son (20), my Boyfriend, and I will be going to San Diego to vacation with my 2 older sons (30, 31); we rented a condo on the bay side. We'll all be together which is a rarity. My 3 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, and 2 granddaughters (2yrs, 8 mo, and 3 1/2). My oldest son and his family live in Germany; my middle son lives in California and his girlfriend and daughter live in Germany but they may be getting married soon.
I hadn't seen my older granddaughter for 2 years. Last Spring, I was going to plan a trip to Germany but had a bad bout of herniated disc pain that left me with left leg weakness, putting me out of work for a few weeks (it's since healed up). When I started looking at plane tickets again in the summer of last year, I saw blood in my stool and, well it's so simple to fill in the blanks from there,huh? So when we all started talking about getting together again, my sons had the wonderful idea of renting a beach condo and we can all vacation together. (Usually one son or the other will visit with their family in my 2 bedroom apartment.)
The last time we were ALL together was in Germany in October 2007. And my younger granddaughter wasn't even here yet! So actually it's the first time that ALL of us will be together.
My youngest son was born an old man and loves being with his brothers and their families. Boyfriend has met all of them but, like me, will be the first time we're all together.
Well, thanks for listening to me ramble on.
Can't help but think of you too Chris! (aka Greybeard)
