another CA roadtrip...

we went back to CA for another week-long visit. rj got to take his first boat ride on westlake lake on the “who’s your granny?” thanks, granny sylvia! we saw family and friends every day we were there and had a lovely time. dennis flew back to AZ early for work so my mom graciously agreed to drive back with ryan and me...thanks, mom!

my dad drove out to AZ on his own (and took our dog sherman back with him...thanks, dad!) and hung out with dennis. and since my parents bought a vacation home right down the street from us, they needed some time to pick out furniture, etc.and get it all ready for the next time they come to town. their place is adorable...brand new, bright and happy! looking forward to seeing them in AZ on a regular basis!

here are some pictures from our week in CA and my parents’ new place!

rj is spent after our 7-hour drive from AZ to CA.
