We’re here!
March 12th, 2010
We had a great flight with plenty of turbulence to keep things exciting, just how we like it. Bug was a super flight champ. She loves flying just as much as I do. She chattered and exclaimed and was generally happy and delightful during the whole flight.
Here we are in the sun shining in from the airplane window. It was a pretty early flight so we got to experience dawn while sitting in the airplane waiting for it to take off. Good thing both Bug and I are morning people.
What can I say? We were warmly received. Even the weather hasn’t been cold! I might even say it’s the same temperature here that it is at home. What’s up East Coast?! I even brought my winter coat! I wanted to wear it for once in my life. Phooey.
That night, after the girls were in bed, Bethany and I stayed up and unpacked her kitchen. We somehow magically drank the perfect amount of coffee and alcohol and had a little party all by ourselves. I know I’m crazy but I think unpacking is FUN!
The next day we discovered Annalie’s GIANT backyard. Compared to our tiny patio it was like living on a estate. Grass and hills to run on and trees! Oh my! Bug was so happy.
But we had to cut that short because it was Bethany’s birthday and we had people to meet and things to do! First a birthday lunch with Bethany’s friends, who are all very sweet of course and then some pottery painting after that! That’s how Bethany rolls. She didn’t bake herself a cake though. We’ll have to amend that.

Aw, have fun you guys.

To be clear, the only reason I didn’t bake myself a cake is because I didn’t yet know where all my baking pans were. Also I had no flour. I plan to bake myself some cupcakes soon!

I love that you made it to the pottery place so fast. I too love unpacking, as long as it isn’t my house :). Glad you guys are having so much fun!

I am so glad you guys are visiting each other and what better excuse to help with the unpacking, one of your many, super dooper skills. What a lovely photo of Bug and Annalie greeting each other awwww. Have a wonderful weekend xx

I LOVE LOVE LOVE unpacking when it is a house, not so much when it is a suitcase from a trip. :)

Sweet pictures of the girls. (B and A, as well as B and B)
I much prefer unpacking to packing.
Packing haunts my dreams. But I dream of unpacking in a new (for us) house.

I love the shot of Bug running to Annalie; sorta makes me a bit weepy. I hope this trip doesn’t feel too short. What a blessing to have such a good friend!
