We went to an area called the Malibu Country Market today. It's a shopping center with a playground and restaurants, but calling the area a "shopping center" would be so not Malibu. The country market is really nice and has very high end shops. I could have spent a lot of time wandering through the shops, but we spent most of our time there watching Henry play on the playground. He's a fool for playgrounds, and I love to watch him play and share his enthusiasm for the simple act of playing.
After we went to the market, we drove to a pumpkin patch in the valley. It was a nice little pumpkin patch that had two bounce castles with slides so Henry was hooked. He played on the slides, and we pulled him away for a bite of lunch.
I needed to be at my hotel downtown late afternoon, and everyone was up for a ride downtown so they all dropped me off. It was tough to say goodbye to Mike and Henry. It's been a while since I have been away from them. Henry was particularly clingy which was hard, but I have a feeling that he moved on the moment that he got back into the car.
I had dinner with some colleagues tonight (!!) and have some work to finish up tonight before our big setup day tomorrow. It's really happening. I am at an event for work. I wanted to finish treatment in time to be at this event, and it has happened. I am so grateful.
