This Thanksgiving we had the good fortune of being able to spend the week in California. The weather was lovely in the 70's - nice enough to hang out at the beach, but not so sunny that we had to slather the kids in spf. Sarah made great meals for us all week so it was like staying at an all inclusive resort, minus the air mattress. :) Violet spent a couple of the days sick, but managed to perk up when we went to Disneyland. Neither of the kids ever made the two hour time adjustment, so they were both up pretty earlier every morning. Reminds me how challenging it must be for our friends the Longs who recently returned to the States for a visit from Singapore with their two toddlers - they must not sleep for a week!
