About 2 weeks ago, we took the girls to California for 10 days. The original plan was to go to Disneyland with Ben's family for the weekend. It started out being only 4 days, but when you're that close to "home". . . well, the trip is quickly extended. Ben stayed behind in Las Vegas for work and I drove the girls down to California early to make a few extra pit stops.
We spent 2 days with Amy, Elle and Gwen in San Clemente - focusing our Tuesday on real mexican food and the pier. As you can see, Avery was focused on something much more terrifying . . .the pelican that was involved in a staring contest with Téa. It took almost 30 minutes but Téa persevered and won the stand-off. Avery called the pier a "big deck" and Téa called the ocean "the sea" and I hung my head in shame as I realized I haven't gotten them to the beach as much as I should.
It was good to be with Amy. You would think with 4 siblings, at least TWO of us would live in the same state. But no. We are all without each other and that kills me.

Um, San Francisco and Los Angeles aren't in the same state?
Jake - Ah! I know I know. But let's be honest, Northern California and Southern California really are 2 separate states. I know you aren't going to fight me on that. And in my book, Josie being a 15-hour-drive from Amy pretty much locks that in.
You deserved it.
Now your home, lets get together soon. I miss you.
Ahh looks so warm!! I'm jealous!
