Girls weekend.

This last weekend we visited mom’s friend Aunt L. We flew on a plane, then we roadtripped to the ocean, and it was super fun!

The first stop we made was to a coffee shop owned by a friend of theirs.

Then we spent a very very very long time in the car.

image

This long time in the car was puncuated by sweet treat stops…

image

And phone calls from Dad.

image

But the reward for all my patience was the beach!

image

We all enjoyed the warm water and sand.

image

We also saw a bunch of animals, like turtles and snakes!!!

image

Some turtles live in yards.

image

And some turtles live in water.

image

And some turtles are sick and are getting better at the turtle hospital.

image

And snakes are not soft like Twizzle.

Mom and Aunt L enjoyed some nasty oysters. I ate the crackers.

image

Then there were a few old fountains in old cities,

image

A few more calls to dad,

image

Then we said goodbye to Aunt L and took a plane home.

Miss you already Aunt L!!! Thanks for such a fun weekend!

A special day for mom.

A couple Sundays ago was Mother’s Day. I’ve only experienced one other one, and from that experience I assumed it was supposed to be a sunny spring day where mom sleeps in and gets breakfast in bed. This year was a completely opposite sort of day.

We woke up early and drove for hours so mom could play the oboe, and it was really cold and rainy and snowy! Then we went to eat something called brunch at a very old beautiful hotel.

image

While we were waiting for our table I splashed in puddles, which amused and annoyed mom.

image

Then we walked around a big pond at the hotel, and I found mom a bouquet of flowers but she didn’t let me pick them.

Happy Mother’s Day, mom! It was a special day full of memories and good food, and delightful puddles and snowflakes.
