For the rest of our time down south, we hung out locally and spent some quality time with the grandparents.  The boys had fun battling chess with Grandpa and playing Dominos with Grandma.  We also played some board games with them that we brought.  While the grandparents watched the Masters on TV, we caught the end of the competition and got ourselves excited about playing golf again.  We went to a mall and spent a lot of time at a game store; the boys had fun looking through their Pokemon card collection and Stuart browsing through the board games.  All of us enjoyed a dinner at home and another night at a restaurant.  We had initially considered going to the Universal Studio on one of the days, but later we chose to walk around Redondo Beach with Grandma instead and it was definitely more relaxing. 

    We had a good time seeing the grandparents during this trip and we made our journey home on Tuesday.  We arrived home early enough to go to the boys’ martial art lesson.  It was a smaller class as many people were out of town, so the boys had an extra good lesson and I enjoyed watching it too.
