California or Bust. Okay, so we bust.

We did make it down to Mountain View, CA, in mid-June to visit Dwayne’s brother’s family for a week. Fortunately, I didn’t start getting sick until we got there (the 2 day road trip was hellacious enough with the carsickness). We had a great week with the family, visiting the Santa Monica Aquarium and many of the nearby parks and racquetball courts.

Clearly, I was infatuated with my sleeping children.

We visited a park with extensive trails; one led to a small working farm! We had to stop and play in the creek for a while. Kara stuck close to Piper, who held on tight to her cousin! Kyla explored on her own.
