Here's a run down of our "vacation" so far. We call it a vacation, but it seems like work. We're always on the go and never get a chance to really relax. Life had been so hectic and there just never seems to be enough time for everything that we want to do.
Monday - Arrive to California, late night dinner at Denny's (very tasty)
Tuesday/Wednesday -Van shopping, we ended up getting a 2006 Honda Odyssey EX, very nice!
Thursday - Visit with my Mom, do some housekeeping for the BBQ
Friday - Visit with my Dad in the desert, also saw my half brother and 2 aunts. Haven't seen them in about 9 years. The kids had a blast swimming in a converted trough.
Saturday - BBQ at my Mom's house, saw lots of relatives. Ate lots of watermelon (it's so cheap in America!)
Sunday - Went to Church in one of Howard's wards from his missionary days. We saw Elder Daniel Jensen there (I was his Sunday School teacher when he was in high school in Okinawa.)We were really excited to see him, it was just a coincidence, what a small world. After church we went to the Wiley's and saw a good friend and met his wife and new baby. My friend Jeff and I were good friends in high school and he baptized me 10 years ago. It was great to see him and his wife, they are such a fun couple. (And their baby is soooo cute.) Afterward we went to the cemetery to visit my Grandma. She passed away 13 years ago, and I miss her more the longer she's gone. It was a really good experience for the kids, to show them a cemetery and talk about life after death.
Monday - We went back up to my Dad's house and he gaVe me a set of OLD China, so Howard and I packed that up carefully. What a relaxing day.
Tuesday - We spent the afternoon at Chuck E Cheese and met up with a couple friends that we knew in Spokane. All the kids have grown up so much, I remember when they were babies!
Wednesday - Hasn't happened yet, but we plan on packing up the van in the morning and head on over to Mesa. I'm really looking forward to going to the Temple there. Wish us luck on the road trip!
