California Fun!

Well, we shipped all of our belongings to Ohio, left our home in Utah, and we're now traveling through California (stop #1 on our trip...next comes San Louis Obispo, CA followed by Dallas, TX and THEN, finally, Columbus, OH). I get to spend the days hanging out with my family while Brant spends his time studying for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam he's taking this summer. It doesn't seem like he ever gets a break, but I'm really grateful for him and for how hard he works. We're staying with my Grandma and Spencer loves to play with her. They seem to keep each other pretty well entertained.
We went to downtown Sacramento with my parents and sister, Karissa. We got to go to THE Railroad Museum, which was pretty fun.
When we were leaving the Railroad Museum, Spencer was really sad and kept saying, "bye-bye choo choo, bye-bye choo choo!" So we took a picture saying bye to the choo choos.
Our 4th wedding anniversary was June 17th and even though we were supposed to get small presents for each other, Brant got me a new set of pans. :) I love them! He also got me some roses and the book "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". He always spoils me.
I got Brant Titleist golf balls (the number one ball on the PGA Tour, in case you were wondering) and three new Callaway golf gloves. He's already used a glove and lost 3 of the balls. :) We also went out to dinner while Grandma watched Spencer. Four years and still going strong...We took Spencer to a place I used to go when I was a little girl: Fairy Tale Town! We went with my brother and sister-in-law and their 3 kids. It's a fun place (in the picture below, we are sliding down Jack's beanstalk).Spencer was pretty thrilled to see the goats (they were next to the bridge and are, we are told, technically "billy goats"). I love the face he's making here.

We can't wait for you to be that much closer. Good luck on the exam. We're reading that book for book group next month, you'll have to let me know what you think.

Adorable children like Spencer are the ones that really make me want to have a child... he's so cute! Good luck on your long drive!
