Epic adventure

A happy dim sum brunch with family today. Baby was a little gem, as always.  First a walk around Cliffhouse, to let baby soak in some rays. Through the shield and comfort of his stroller, of course.  Here he is, a happy little clam.  Of the dim sum highlights are the beef organs which we all cheered for in unison.  The tripe was a tad overdone, but nothing to gripe about. I…
