Home Again

We are home from our wonderful vacation. Everything was great. I loved being with my family enjoying all the California sights.

I am a cancer so going to the coast in San Diego was wonderful. I loved standing there and looking out into that beautiful ocean while the tide rushed over my feet.

The zoo was fun and Serif loved the polar bears. They put on a good show for her. We wore ourselves out though.

Then it was off to Disney Land. We spent the afternoon we arrived in Downtown Disney. The next day was half of Disney Land. Then there was the California Adventure and our last day was the rest of Disney Land.

We went on lots of rides. I had a ball. Kathy, Terry's mother, took me on my very first every roller coaster. I even have a picture to prove it. It was great and I am sure that one day I will do another. I loved the Haunted Mansion. That was where Serif waved to the ghosts. So many rides and so many memories. It was awesome.

This was not one of those laid back relaxing vacations. We were on the go from the first day. We would start out in the morning and not stop until it was time for bed. My poor feet had no idea what I was doing to them.

When we got back Tom had made hot dogs and hamburgers and brought them over to celebrate the 4th. We had a wonderful family celebration that ended with fire works in the front yard. It was after midnight when I finally crawled home. I was totally exhausted.

The next day was spent in bed and resting on the sofa trying to get my poor swollen feet to get back to a fairly normal size. Boy it sure was hard to get up and go to work on Thursday. Luckily it was only a 2 day week. I'm going to enjoy this weekend.

I cannot tell you how great Serif was on this trip. That baby was so good. Here she was away from home being dragged everywhere and off her usual schedule but you wouldn't have known it. She was so good and seemed to really enjoy herself. I hope she remembers some of it. Luckily her mother took hundreds of pictures to remind her.

Tom did a great job taking care of the house for me. Bosco was in good shape but I think he missed me because he wouldn't leave my side on Wednesday. He was right there even when I went to the bathroom. Poor puppy was so unhappy when I had to go back to work. He's going to be happy when we get back into our old routines this weekend.

We are so fortunate that we have a family that can spend 6 days together without any problems. Everyone got along wonderfully. It was a vacation full of love, laughter and memories. It's a vacation I will cherish always. Thank you Missy and Terry.
