We had a quick little trip to Cali for Sarah's graduation from USC!!!
Congrats Sarah!
My parents and I drove out, we were up at USC all day Thursday and Friday celebrating. Then Friday night/Saturday morning at 1:00 am Jons flight got in and we were going going going. His flight took off Monday afternoon and we headed back for the long drive home right after.
It was great to go to Cali and visit with dear friends. We spent lots of time with the Macleod family whom we love so much! Had a fun night with Mike Kaess. Enjoyed dessert with the newly engaged Nate (congrats!). Caught up with Justin after his move from DC. Had a 75th b-day party for my Grandma Tommye. Took sometime to catch our breath while at my Uncle Marks and Aunt Julies. Ate great Mexican food, and freshly picked delicious strawberries. Some Rubios with Jons family. Got sunburned. Played in the sand at the beach. Experienced an earthquake, again. Lots of driving and running around. Sat with some 40,000 people for the big USC graduation while Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke. Then enjoyed a more private graduation of the Theater department where Joe Mantegna spoke (from Criminal Minds one of our favorite shows...). Walked all over USC campus with the kiddos watching the girls from Sarah's sorority take pictures. Spent time in our old neighborhood, and chatted with the Bentley family. We learned that Bubba is an even bigger flirt than once thought (too many sorority girls to choose from). Talked with J Bowling about coming out to DC for a visit.... how did we fit so many things in such a short time, and yet still feel like there was more to do...
Had a great trip --- but every time we go, we are so thankful to not live there! We are very thankful to have moved, and are even more so every time we visit --- although we miss our friends - its a great reason to vacation and see each other!
Pictures to come hopefully soon :o)
