Trip to Albuquerque

We finally hit the road to visit our friends in Albuquerque. It was an opportunity that we couldn't pass up. For a moment in time, 6 of our dearest friends and their families are living there simultaneously. We had an unforgettable time with them. The Hoogendyks very graciously opened their home to us and treated us like royalty.

Years ago, I thought I was being fancy and folded the guest towels like a fan when the Hoogendyks visited us in California. I knew that Jessica enjoyed folding napkins, but look what she can do with a couple of towels!!! She made my fan look really shabby. Ha ha! There was a cat to match on the other side of the bed.

Breakfast with Holly and Hannah!

We visited the Albuquerque aquarium and were joined by the Wilsons!

This crazy fish was in the large shark tank .... any ideas what it might be?

Erica didn't sleep much on the trip ... so we captured one of the few times that she did! She discovered Pooh on the trip and LOVES him.

Dinner with the Hoogendyks and Wilsons.

Brunch! We had to wait a long time to be seated, but it was well worth the wait - delicious.

Silly men ...

THE LINDSAYS!!!! Poor Elise got a nasty stomach flu the night we got there and spent the night in the ER. She finally felt (barely) strong enough to join us on Sunday. We were so happy to see them again.

Dinner at the Wilsons. Jenn and Jeff put together a delicious Cuban meal for us - an inspiration from one of their favorite restaurants from Los Angeles.

Here are the girls jammin' with Mr. Lindsay on Arlo's drum set.
