Dr. Quinn Times 12th Year Reunion - 4/29/04

Mike and I took off on Thurs morning the 29th of April for Orange, CA and then on to our reunion weekend in the Santa Monica Mountains. After our stop at the office, we headed for Agoura Hills, a little north and west of Los Angeles. We made a quick stop at a Kohls to pick up new sneakers for Mike and then arrived at the Hotel - The Rennaissance in Agoura Hills not far from Paramount Ranch. Our DQ Reunion Get-A-Way Weekend was finally here!

We got checked in and sat in the Lobby for a while with other DQ Members and then went into Dinner with the group who had arrived at that point. After a nice dinner we adjourned to one of the meeting rooms where Jane's associates had set up a display of her art work, childrens things and home items. We were able to buy at 1/2 off and I picked up a couple of things I really liked.

Mike checked his watch at this point and we made a mad dash to the airport to pick up Trudy who was arriving on American Airlines from NYC ... her flight was early if you can believe that! With Trudy in tow we headed back to the hotel and stopped at Cocos for a late night snack..

Friday morning Mike and I hit IHOP for breakfast and then headed back to the Hotel to pick up Trudy for our beach trip. This time around, while it was still cool and very breezy, it wasn't as bone chilling cold. We enjoyed a lite lunch after our irregular breakfast and eventually headed back to the hotel for a quick dip in the pool and a chat with some other DQ Fans.

That evening we had the official welcome dinner and got re-acquainted with old friends and met new friends. It was highlighted by a surprise visit from Jennifer Youngs.

Saturday morning dawned clear, bright and HOT. We did some roaming down to Paramount Ranch (it was fast heating up), showed Trudy where Malibu Creek State Park was (Temp by that time was 99) and then roamed up and down the Malibu Coast. We were back at the Hotel in time to relax before our big Cast Dinner.

We headed off in our "western" garb for Calimingos Ranch where the party was being held and connected up with Frank Collison and his daughter Eliza. We enjoyed our little time with them and once the main part of dinner was over they joined us at our table. Entertainment for the evening was provided by Jennifer Youngs (Ingrid on the DQ Show) and Ronnie Champagne. We left there about 10:30pm exhausted but having enjoyed our time visiting with so many.

Sunday we had breakfast in the hotel and then with Trudy headed out to Huntington Gardens where Jane was part of an art show. We saw some of her paintings and then roamed the gardens for only a short while ... It was HOT HOT HOT! Temp was 102! The Rose Garden was gorgeous!

After the gardens we grabbed a late lunch and then headed with Trudy to the airport where we dropped her off for her redeye flight home. Then it was time for me to drive and we started back to San Diego. When we arrived, very tired but relaxed, we did a quick unpack etc. and caught up on our books which we hadn't had much chance to read.

All in all a great weekend and a great time to get away for a bit.

The Thurs Night Dinner that started out at Hamburger Hamlet and then transitioned to the hotel upon learning that they were now closed.
