After Disneyland yesterday, we drove up to Santa Barbara to spend a little time with my Uncle Woody and Aunt Ann. They took us for German dinner, Jutta’s first German food in America, and, as usual, packed us up with a trunk full of lemons, drinks, TP, food, and miscellaneous stuff. Our visit was short, but my aunt and uncle enjoyed meeting my mother-in-law for the first time.

On the way home to Phoenix, we stopped at Tommy’s at Rampart and Beverly Boulevards, and while it is famous to Angelinos, it was Jutta’s introduction to the chili cheeseburger, and it definitely won’t be as memorable for her as for others. That might have to do with what happened just after eating her burger on the way back to the car when a man in a wheelchair offered to have his photo taken with my mother-in-law when he saw my camera and as she got into position, he offered a goose on her butt, that was first and funny enough, it elicited a good laugh.

While a typical stop for Caroline and me, my mother-in-law had no idea what boba tea was, but upon learning it was sweet, it was good enough for her, though she found the tapioca balls kind of awkward.
