Nor Cal

Last week we were able to visit my sister, brother-in-law, and their four girls in California. Mia was, once again, a traveling champion (the direct flights helped) & even slept through the night in her carseat when we were delayed four hours on our red-eye flight back to DC.

We had a great time catching a glimpse of a week in the the life of the Jackson family and were left in awe of Amy's organizational skills. Mia loved spending some quality time with her cousins and made a special bond with Lizzy, in particular. We enjoyed a fun and relaxing trip and ate a LOT of really good food. Taylor even made both savory & dessert crepes for us in addition to all of Amy's culinary masterpieces... We were really spoiled. Thanks for being such great hosts!

The Crew... minus Amy who is taking the picture & Charlotte, who is behind Taylor's large head.

On Saturday, we watched McKenna and Sydney's soccer games & got to see Taylor take on the roles of both official & coach at the respective games. (He didn't do both at the same time, although he is probably very capable... the man can multitask.)

We also got to go to the local Farmers' Market where they had a little bit of everything...hot donuts, tortillas of every flavor, homemade pasta... even karaoke! I was in heaven.

All the cousins together - this was attempt #23, I think.
Charlotte & Mia are over it.

Saying our goodbyes...

The fate that awaited us at the airport. Washington - Delayed... Indefinitely... Forever.
We were sad to go...We miss NorCal and the Jacksons already!
