We are finally getting the hang of being a "six pack"!! It can be tough to find things to do that will be good for the little guys as well as Christine and Bennett. We decided to take the kids up to L.A. overnight as a last family vacation before Christine goes off to college. We rented bikes and rode from Marina del Rey thru Venice Beach to Santa Monica. Jeff and Tess rode a tandem so she was able to just sit while Jeff peddled. It was so much fun and worked out perfectly! The boys loved it because they could stop and play on the various playgrounds along the ride that had some very cool things-like giant rings and rope climbs. We had dinner at Jeff's favorite- BLT Steak- on Sunset. The following morning we walked to the Santa Monica Pier where Tess had her first roller coaster ride. She screamed bloody murder but loved it. We laughed hysterically!!We are really beginning to get a sense of "normalcy" as a family. Things have really settled down and Tess is really settling into life in a big family. We had a great couple of days!
