At this point you may be wondering why we were going to California. I'll tell you. We were going to California to visit Sarah's sister Hannah and her husband Jeremy and their two daughters Clara and Ruthie. We had tens of thousands of frequent flier miles left over from Australia, and Alex was just about 2 years old so he wouldn't be able to qualify as a "lap child" much longer, so we decided to ditch the ice and snow for a few days and hang out with some well loved family.
So as it often happens at the end of our flight we were there! California! Sun! Warmth!
It was wonderful.
Hannah and Ruthie picked us up and we rolled on back to their house across the street from the campus of the University of California Irvine, where Jeremy is a professor of Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic. Here are a few tastes of our arrival:
The kids warmed right up to each other - Alex and Ruthie are almost two and Clara is four. I think it's been about a year since they've seen each other.
After the kids woke up from their post lunch naps we took a walk down to the university campus center where we got some frozen yogurt and watched the kids play in the park area.
Sarah does not mess around when it comes to Alex trying to jump into fountains:
That evening we had a nice dinner at home, played with the kids outside, and went to bed early.
