So, I've been back in California for more then 3 weeks now. Although I've been to San Francisco to see my friends, LA to visit my sister and adorable niece, and spent time in Chico with friends and family, I'm pretty antsy to get to Europe! I have spent the majority of the last 3 weeks at various coffee shops around town, attempting to avoid each of them noticing how much time I'm spending there. I have been planning for my trip, working on my grad school application, and generally wasting time. I have been to 2 Giants games which is always a priority for me, and I have spent this last weekend in La Mirada with my Sister, Dave, and Grace. Grace is now almost 6 months old, so big, and beautiful as ever. She sits up, can turn herself over, and even eats a bit of real food (as you can see by the Oatmeal-Face picture). I basically spent all weekend hangin' with the baby and it was perfect.
As nice as it was to be home for a bit, now its time for EUROPE! I leave next Sunday morning, have a long trip to London, and right away we'll be on our way! Tim and I are going to see England play Mexico in a pre-World Cup friendly game. Then we will spend the next week or so in England and Ireland, then off to Spain to continue our journey around Europe.
I will keep you posted on the things we encounter, mistakes we make, and stories we have. Until then, take care
