Off to Grandma and Grandpa's

Given that I was off work sick for three months earlier this year, and THEN got appendicitis and had an appendectomy last week... I do not get to go visit my family in Washington this year.  Boo.   The pity party is in full swing over here.  But that doesn't mean the kids can't enjoy some quality grandma and grandpa time.  So Rob and I drove them down to Chicago, and flew them out, sans parental supervision.  They made it safe and sound, and are very excited about this new adventure!!!
