Dinner with the Kuykendalls

A little over a week ago, Steve and Jan were gracious enough to invite the team over to their condo in Long Beach. Their home is high up in a tower over looking the port of Long Beach. The view was beautiful. You can spot the Long Beach Aquarium (on the left side it is the round tank shaped building). On the far right you can see the Queen Mary. We will be seeing her in May when we return and address the Long Beach Rotary Club in the Grand Ballroom. Exciting!

Steve was the grill master that evening.

His apron will protect everything but his head.

Congrats!

Our hosts Steve and Jan. Welcoming us to their table. With a great view of the harbor and Catalina in the dusk sunlight.
Thank you for your hospitality

And of course the spread! Lots of delicious food and wine! It was a feast. 

 Thank you again to the Kuykendalls for having us over. It was very nice of them to have us get together before we leave for Finland. Getting a chance to chat with each other and prepare for the trip was great. Looking forward to the adventures that await us.
