We spent a weekend in LA at a lake house with Robyn and Steve.  Not Okoboji, but still a great time!

Europe Summer 2013

We know that we're fortunate to do this.  And yes, it may be a bit crazy to travel with three kids, 1,3, and 5 to Europe with multiple stops, taxis, trains, planes, and automobiles.  Hot weather, broken air conditioners, huge bug bites, places where we were going to sleep but couldn't - it certainly was not without some hassle.  But seeing our cousins in London and sharing many days and evenings with close friends, the wine, cheese, beaches, and amazing company in Sardinia along with the swimming in the sea and the pool - well, it more than made up for any little discomforts.  

Mommy and daddy time...

Sometimes, rarely, but sometimes we have a chance to sneak away and spend some time without the kiddos.  We cherish the moments and count our blessings.  Often it's just a weekend away, and most of the time it is not much worth documenting, but when we get a chance to explore Marin, during the daytime, it's always so sweet.  Here are a few shots from our latest adventure.

Summer nearly here...
