Two weeks goes by fast!

 


It was a nice trip back to the states. 

Great to see family and friends. 

And we definitely ate waaaay too much! 


We started in Seattle…

Enjoyed visiting with family. Dad even made his famous (artery clogging) French toast! Mmmmm. 


And caught up with many friends.






The 5 days included
Italian pasta dinner
Home-cooked Brisket & potatoes
Home-cooked BBQ ribs, corn, and potatoes plus brownies for dessert
Mexican lunch
Italian pasta again
and Mexican again


Then on to Los Angeles…

We spent the 4th of July with family and celebrated my brothers (and my) birthdays. The family bbq also known to some as the Buffet of Gluttony!



Followed the next few days with…
Burgers
more Mexican
A wonderful Bday Brunch with my brother and Erika
Then afternoon chips & guacamole and topped off with a Surf & Turf dinner with salad at a delicious steakhouse treated by Eric’s Uncle Rich.




Finishing up in San Diego…
On our drive down we finally got our first In n Out burger




Followed by a second In n Out burger later for dinner

The next few days were
Japanese/Sushi
Mexican again

And we squeezed in my favorite frozen yogurt!




Steak, potatoes and salad as a second bday celebration with Sheila, Eric’s sister.



AND…One last In N Out for the road…on our way to the airport. 


Sorry if we missed you this trip. It was a challenge fitting everything in.


Not yet sure when the next trip back will be. 


We are happy to be back in NZ and continuing to work on the house. 


Stay tuned for more photos of the mayhem
