This last week my little sister turned 20. She wanted to go on a trip for her birthday, so my mom, Jessica and I packed our bags and headed for California. 
Thursday we drove to L.A. and that night went to see Wicked. It was great, but the Galinda this time wasn't nearly as amazing as the Galinda Shan and I saw when we came earlier in the year.
Anyway, the next day we packed up and drove to San Fransisco. We rode the cable cars, saw Pier 39, went on a tour of Alcatraz, and then the next day we went on a Bay cruise that went under the Golden Gate bridge and around Alcatraz Island. I even got to drive down Lombard street!
It was fun to get to see somewhere totally new. Then we drove down to Carmel and spent some time shopping and checking out the beach. Check out the decor in our last hotel room! We felt transported back to the seventies!
Sunday we drove all the way home, 10 hours! It was SO much driving. But it was fun to get to hang out with my mom and sister. We have never taken a trip, just us, before.
Shan watched our boys and he was amazing! The boys had so much fun spending all weekend with their dad. He even kept the house clean and kept all the laundry done! And on top of all that he even took Blakes pacifier away! We have been needing to take it away because he has broken out in a terrible rash on his face, but I just wasn't ready, he loves it so much. But Shan took it away when I left so I didn't have to endure any of the terrible first days of no pacifier! I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband!
I missed my boys and Shan so much! It's so fun to get away and have a break, but even nicer to come home!

So fun! I want to see Wicked so bad! And I can't believe Jessica is 20! I have to keep remembering her and Aubrey are not that much younger than me!
I hear Wicked is awesome. My sister-in-laws all went to see it. My cousin just won free tickets to it! Are you going to the DHS reunion?
