Davis, CA - Our visit with Erin & Nick

We went to Davis to hang out with Erin and Nick. We walked the streets of Davis, spent some time wandering around the campus, bowled, laughed and giggled, and did a little unpacking. The kids LOVE their sister and her husband, as well as their two adorable dogs, Gracie and Widget. We all really liked Davis. It's very pedestrian and bike friendly, and has lots of public transportation. There are lots of interesting places to hang out. I noticed a lot of eastern food...korean, thai, chinese, japanese, etc.

They live in a tiny apartment, so we set up two air mattresses on the floor for the kids and I slept on the couch. It was fun and noisy. I had to explain to the kids what that funny, sickening smell was coming from across the way (pot) as I was running to the bathroom. For some reason that stuff always makes me vomit.


This is Nick at the bowling alley, waiting for his turn. He's always very patient with the kids, even when they're having issues. Not that that ever happens. (ahem)



This is Erin, displaying her usual sunny and wonderful disposition. She is an amazing young lady, and it's fun to see her move in a new direction as she gets ready to start her first semester at Davis. We all adore her!!



Joe and Johnny were stuck on my team. We all rolled LOTS of gutter balls.



One of the highlights for the kids was being able to take bubble baths in Erin's bathtub. We don't have a bath tub at our house...all showers, so they really like to play when they have the chance.
