Vacation

We recently returned from two weeks on the East Coast. Rather than completing a 1000 word essay on what we did....here are some highs (and, er, lows) of our trip:

-We started Joshua on a new antibiotic the day before the trip. One of the side effects is diarrhea. I've learned not to start new medications with a side effect of diarrhea before three hour plane trips. Fortunately, Joshua didn't indicate anything was wrong during the two and a half hours he sat in mess on the plane (half hour into the flight was when we noticed the plane smelled bad). I'll spare you the very messy, all over him, all over his seat details...

-Always a good time hanging out with the Zeb clan. Joshua got in on the traditional cousins chicken fighting this year.





-Fun times with Mom Mom!




-Joshua got his first DunkinDonuts-YUm YUm!


-Joshua got to see daddy's college campus-University of Delaware.
-On the way from Delaware, we got in some very short visits with two of my college roommates & their families. We spent the night with Uncle Jeff in Richmond, where we spent the night playing video games!

-Day two of traveling from DE to VA, we detoured to West Virginia to see my grandmother and then on to the family farm so Joshua could see the cows (and my extended family!).

-I was so excited to see Kurt get in on some Japanese beetle action with my Dad. It brought back such fond memories. First they get collected in a bag and then my dad insists on digging a hole and then burying them with a bag of boiling water. Good times. Don't you just love that Kurt always has a good stance when lifting things?


-Joshua apparently wore Mimi and Papa out!-My stepsister and family were in town for our last day. Joshua was surrounded by his California cousins the entire time! He loved all the attention.
~I had my ten year high school reunion, so we had to take a pre-prom style photo when Kurt "picked me up" for our big night out-Hey, where's my corsage? It was so fun to catch up with hometown friends!


~Joshua discovered the joy of running up and down a hill in Virginia.



I know you are hungry for more...you can see all 170+ photos from our trip on our Picasa site.

looks like you had a great time. I'd like to hear if your HS reunion was worth it.
