Back at the house that evening... We went down to Ann & Walt's house for Christmas Eve. Nice to watch kids unwrap a ton of presents!

On the way home, we stopped off at the store to pick up some playing cards and treats. .and my mom led... Mom checking out the indoor lily pads. Mom & Dad on the bridge. Awww. Mom & me. Happy 42nd Anniversary! Riding the tram around the arboreta! The park is over 250 acres! Mom & Grandma waving us farewell as we headed off to catch the... 830am view of the family. On Friday we headed down to south Jersey to visit my family. We got up bright and early on Thursday to catch our flight. Here's my parents waving us goodbye. Adorable.

The trip included a visit to a botanical garden (her choice) and a trip to the local Navy SEAL museum (the bait she came up with to entice my father into coming along). Get it?
