The first night we were there we also saw the Lane's. One of the best things about seeing them is that no matter how much time has gone by all the kids act like they haven't seen each other in months. Marah and Tessa always give each other the embracing, jumping around in a circle hug and the boys pick up Nolan and swing him around. It's so special. Each morning when we woke up from our separate apartments we were always greeted with the same reunion with the kiddos. The twirling hugs, high pitched screams when we saw them down the boardwalk, and the hand holding all day long. Such a special bond. They are always looking out for each other. So much fun to have Bastien join the special bond of our family. We are so lucky and we couldn't be happier for Bry and Edie.
Last fall the opportunity presented itself to have us go to San Diego for our spring break. I didn't think that I had the slightest chance to go. You see the problem was that Lodi's spring break was different than mine. How could I possibly get off the week I'm supposed to be back from break!? I didn't even think it was worth asking. Mom called one day and said it was the last shot and suggested I ask my superintendent. Well holy man I'm glad I asked! He immediately responded and said that family is so important and that I should indeed take off to enjoy the time with my family. Wait, what!?!? I can go?!?! And from there this awesome week in San Diego took place. So much fun. I wouldn't have changed anything about it. Dad, mom, Derek, the kids, and I all stayed in mom's one bedroom apartment right on the ocean that she'll be living in while she's there for six weeks. Jess, Beau, and the kids stayed across the street in their own condo. And Bry and Edie's place was two blocks away. Perfection. I've never enjoyed sleeping on a pullout couch as much as I did this week. Such a fun week.
Here's a few pics to prove we had a blast!!
Can't wait to go back to this little piece of heaven.
