Sisters!
Congratulations, Camille!
Graduation is always on Mother's Day. Jonathan stepped aside to give his mom a call.
It was also great to see my brother as well. I missed seeing his apartment this year but nice to not have to consider preparing a full meal with all of the other hustle and bustle that was going on. We did make time to go to Sereniteaz and found a scrumptious lemon rooibos that refreshed us during the heat spell that we came home to.Next stop, St. Louis!
The timing for this trip could have been more opportune in many ways. The week that we were there was finals for all of the friends we hoped to see. However, these lovely friends graciously opened their home and the others made time out of their busy schedules to see us. I saw Charlie and Keren, shared tea and salad with Megan and visited the Missouri Botanical Garden with Nathaniel. In a characteristic fashion, I switched my schedule and went to see one friend on the wrong day and saw a good bit more of St. Louis than I planned on while navigating my way between houses but that is just what being a tourist is for, right?
The Missouri Botanical Garden is definitely on our list of beautiful places to visit again. The irises were blooming while we were there.
Jonathan was absolutely fascinated with these flowers. I stood in the breeze trying to hold a bloom steady enough for him to get a close up shot. In the end, the best one was this one of the entrance drive.
We had wanted to do a bit more sight seeing around the city but spent so much time seeing friends that everything else got passed by. This is as close as we got to the famous arch.
On to Kansas City.......where we had a good time visiting Jonathan's brother and his family. We celebrated the end of Elijah's first year of preschool, saw the IHOP, had delicious barbecue and had a chance to catch up.
It also included some exercise to work off the barbecue.
The verdict? We need to go back for more visits!
