I am going to miss those little guys.

Pay no attentions to what my shirt says… or the stick from the almost-finished, chocolate-covered banana in my hand… that was a great day to get out of bed.

Campbell is so close to learning how to walk… (Note to self: The ‘no shaving’ look is okay when on vacation, but if you are going to turn your head while someone is taking your photo, you might want to shave the back of your neck… or don’t turn your head at all, because you have that weird neck vein thing when you do that)… But seriously, when an almost-one-year-old looks at you like that…

Or a three-year-old offers to share his ice cream cone with you…

Does it really get any better than that?

I had a great time in Santa Cruz.

And I had a great time with my mom in the Bay Area.

But it was time to move along.
