All Good Things...

Even though Evan's sleeping, or more accurately his lack thereof, drove us nuts during our whole trip back East, we still had a pretty great time. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, though, so Saturday morning we packed up our things (including a few more than we started our trip with, of course) and headed back to California. My mom especially seemed sad at our departure (I think she really likes being a Grandma), so I took one last photo with my cell phone to send to her:

We had a rather taxing trip home -- as if a planned 2 hour layover wasn't bad enough, we ended up being stuck in Chicago for 6 hours due to the weather, the last hour and a half of that sitting on the plane waiting to be cleared for departure. At least the flight was relatively empty, so we were able to bring along Evan's car seat and have a whole row to ourselves. And maybe as a bit of compensation for being kind of a pill during much of the trip, Evan was pretty much perfect during the journey home. He even slept the whole flight from Chicago to Oakland!
