What a week! (Part 1/5)

 Apparently, I tried to do too many photos in each post, so I had to split it into 5 parts. I guess that means you're in for a lot of photos!!

Travels! 🧳 

We spent the mid winter recess in Los Angeles. Sammy is just shy of 6 months old and we needed to soak him up. 

We sat separately from NY to Chicago, but together from Chicago to LAX. 

Dylan wants to be a pilot when he's older and absolutely loves all things airplane. He excitedly asked the flight attendant if he could see the cockpit. She asked the pilot, who then let him sit in the seat! While he was there, Sarah learned from the flight attendant that it is no longer known as a "cockpit" since women are allowed to fly the plane. It's now called a flight deck. 

We arrived at Matt & Sarah's in the late afternoon, so Dylan promptly challenged Matt to a chess game. 

Jo follows a YouTuber and they had an event going on a bit south of the house. Since we had rented a car, Sarah and Jo went down to a trampoline park so Jo could hang out with the YT and other followers. They all got a long really well and had a wonderful time. Jo met some new friends too! (If you don't already, you can follow his alter-ego Tyler on YouTube. He does not use his "real" name online, so please keep that in mind. Contact us for the info!)

Nearby the trampoline park was a volcanic plug. Jo is a bit of a science lover, so he and Sarah HAD to check it out. It's behind us in the first photo. The second was just an area around us.

We played a few board games together - thankfully they love games as much as we do. We played Mysterium twice (but only actually knew what we were doing the second time).
