How to Un-spoil a Child
W
ell Spring has sprung and we're looking forward
to a nice warm summer. With summer comes
opportunities to get out and enjoy all the wonderful
places and things that living in this area aff ords. In this issue
we wanted to remind our readers of some of the things that can
be enjoyed with a limited amount of time and expense. So "Day
Tripping, Yeah!” just seemed a good off ering. (Pages 62-69)
Kudos to Morgan Hill's City Council and City Staff. What a
great job they are doing! There's so much going on that it is a
challenge to keep up with it all. We've attempted to provide an
overview of their progress as we looked at the new, improved
and expanded real estate development projects that are fueling
economic growth, tourism, job creation—all contributing to
providing even more reasons for people to “Choose Morgan
Hill” when looking for a place to live, work and play.
(Pages 32-37)
Of course we couldn't even think of the progress happening
in our area relative to tourism without writing about
Jane Howard, Executive Director of the recently designated
California Welcome Center at the Gilroy Outlets. Formerly
the Gilroy Welcome Center, the facility provides tourists with
information on all the fun things to do in California.
Congrats for a job well done! (Pages 88-89)

njoy!!

ABOUT THE COVER PHOTO:
Just about the time I was getting ready to begin work on this
issue, my daughter, Kristine Lee, who lives in Colorado, sent
me this photo of my granddaughter, Ava. I felt it a fun lead in
to our pieces 1) highlighting summer fun options up and down
the road within an hour's drive and 2) our obsession with the
automobile.
