Coming to you today from Dublin, California.
We are taking in the California lifestyle these days. Traffic, shopping and eating. There are all these things everywhere.
Going to the chocolate factory now to take a tour and sample some awesome dark chocolate.
The weather is warm but cloudy and rainy.
Will update as time allows.
Here is the picture we received from California:

On Friday night, David became an uncle! Jacob was born a strapping 9lbs, 15 oz and 21.75 inches long. Mum and baby are doing beautifully, and we are told they should be going home today. We haven’t seen any photos yet, but apparently he has a head full of dark curls and a lovely temperament. We can’t wait to see him!
I haven’t blogged for some time as I have been transitioning from work to school mode.

Lots of testing still to be done but I love it.
