We returned yesterday from a week on the beach in Bodega Bay. As anyone familiar with northern CA weather knows, June on the coast can actually be quite foggy and dreary, but we had gorgeous weather. It was a great trip and a welcome family reunion: my mother flew in from NH, my brother came from NH via MT (he had to see his MT doctor for a post-broken-femur check up ~ see my April 9 post for some backstory), and my sister, her fiance, and my niece came up from Oakland, too. We had rented a beautiful house with stunning views and I look forward to reflecting and writing more about our time there, but for now it just feels really good to be home.
This morning, after waking up in his own bed, Evan spent nearly an hour playing happily in his room. Lydia also got a good night's sleep, which she sorely needed after some midnight allergy attacks on the road. She's caught up on missed episodes of "So You Think You Can Dance" (thanks to our DVR) and is planning to create a photo journal of our adventures.
I'm grateful that I was able to do enough laundry at the rental house that I don't have to get straight into that chore at home. I'll likely start tomorrow, though, since there is never a lack of laundry with this family. Andrew is already back at work, but is glad to have a long weekend ahead.
Happy summer to all!
