Eston and I were able to go back and see beautiful San Diego in all of its burnt glory. We went to San Diego for my friends wedding, and got to see crispy scenery while there. It was kind of humorous because at one point (about a week before her wedding) I was told that her luncheon site had possibly burned down and that Michelle and her future in-laws had been evacuated. I thought this has got to be a wedding nightmare.
Eston and I had a lot of fun together. He did really well on the flight and made friends with everyone in the airport and everywhere else for that matter. It was a lot of fun having one-on-one time with him without his sister overshadowing him. I got to know a lot more about his personality than I usually do. Eston became obsessed with cats or "hats" as he referred to them all weekend. Aside from the fact that I had Eston with me, it was great being able to just hang out with the Michelle and Jenny and do whatever we wanted.
On the flip side, Matt and Sammie had quite the adventure as well. Sammie tried to have a sleepover at Lindsays house which apparently failed and ended up with Matt getting a 3 am wake-up call. Sammie woke-up and said OKAY I am ready to see my dad. And that ended it. They went to the ZOO and as Sammie would say "We have a party Mom. . .okay?" She apparently is completley potty-trained when with Matt but not for me. We had 4 accidents upon my return. All in all we had a lot of fun.

Sounds like a good time Brynn. You're right about the pre-wedding fire being a nightmare. It's fun to get away. Alone time with the kids is wonderful.
How fun to be with Eston. I am sure Sammie had a great time with her Dad. I think that would be Maren's dream, have an entire weekend to herself with her Dad!
That's so great that you got to spend some quality time with just Eston. It is amazing how when you spend time with just one of your kids you really get to see a different side of them. And as far as Sammie needing to leave her sleepover, I remember when I was little once and our family took a trip to Utah. I was sleeping at the Staples', and it was probably about 3:00 in the morning as well, and I really missed my mom. So Mark drove me back to Gram and Grandpa Burke's!
Sounds like quite the weekend, glad you had a good time and were able to get away!
