California

Will had a conference in California in August. My college roommate just moved back to California. Will also has wonderful parents. Throw it all together and we were able to take a fantastic, 5-day, kid-free vacation.

I got to see my good friend Heloise, and meet her husband and sweet little girl.



We also went tide-pooling one evening and found sea urchins and starfish, among other things, then fed crabs to the anemones. Very entertaining.




A huge thanks to my mother-in-law and father-in-law (and Kim), who watched the kids for us that week. You all deserve a medal. Or a massage. Or maybe you should just line up in one of those massage circles and rub each others' backs for awhile. Either way, we appreciate what you did.
