We
wanted to have a break together as a family and mom wanted to do
something warm. We originally wanted to rent a house on the Cape but
we were hoping for something a little warmer and we didn't have time
to go the whole week because I had to head out to LA, so we shifted
our plans and ended up going to New Jersey for a few days. We figured
it wasn't too far away but a little more south and hopefully warmer.
Believe it or not, Jersey has some nice beaches, though it has some
ugly ones, too. More on this later.
We
had a nice time, a lot nicer than I anticipated, and we came home and
then I had to pack up and fly to LA to help my mom, who was having
knee replacement surgery. The timing wasn't great but I felt I had to
go. I hated leaving mom and the kids at this busy time, but they
managed just fine without me. My trip to California went well, saw my
mom and brother and helped out a lot. I also saw some old friends and
was reminded how much I don't like LA, but that's just me.
The
trip to and from LA was fraught with complications and challenges,
but I won't get too much into that right now (later, on the other
hand... ), but suffice it to say that I sure am glad to be home,
where I feel I belong. I missed my family and feel totally out of
place when I'm not there for them. Now that I'm back things are busy
as ever, but all in a good way. More on my trips later.
Until
then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Susanto for the pic.
