We see them about every 6 months, which is pretty good considering the distance, but it isn't nearly often enough and we always hate saying goodbye. During this trip, we joked a lot about what we will do if any of us win the lottery or fall into some money somehow. It would be so nice to be able to go to Illinois for a long weekend, or to have them come here for a special event they would otherwise miss. We can dream, can't we?
We enjoyed 2 beach days, took a drive downtown to go to The Grove and the LACMA, had a dinner at my parents' house, played some cards and dominoes, and just enjoyed hanging out with each other. **Side note: Speaking of downtown... Matt and I decided we need to take better advantage of all of the activities LA has to offer and head down there more often

Matt and I will be heading to Illinois in late May or early June, and we're already looking forward to it... Especially because we have a new niece that will be making her appearance in April!
Stay tuned for some posts about how terrible/stressful/anxiety-provoking school is... I start back this week. Eeeek.
All those McKee's are the nicest, sweetest people ever. I wish we all could live on a giant compound some place. Wouldn't that be nice? Then there would never be good-byes.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are stressed. Once you get back into the groove, everything will fall right into place. Promise.
Fun stuff! also, I'm interested in stealing that lime green and white shirt you wore at the Grove....
