A Picture Says a Thousand Words, So....

...can you tell what kind of a weekend we had? Everett wanted to pretend the marker he found was a lipstick and Lionel's hair had a life of its own after hours of swimming.

And a One, and a Two!

Mama was trying to do a workout video and Everett had to show off his skills. And then, he just watched...

Laura, Are You in There?

This was me trying to rest on the couch by myself. Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore. I'm a little boy magnet!

.....our next vacation with the kids is VERY far off, but hey, our rooms did have telephones!

Santa Monica, CA (AKA Memory Lane)

So in a last ditch effort to salvage this vacation, we drove up to Santa Monica and stayed at the hotel right next to our old apartment. We walked down to the promenade, saw my Anthropolgie, had dinner, and walked down to the pier. The boys did really well and loved the ferris wheel. That night, like all the others was filled with disaster, so we packed it up and headed home first thing.

P.S. It was really nice to be back in Santa Monica!
