Labor Day Weekend, 2004: My First Trip to the Mountains to see G-Pa and G-Ma

"Tutu Sue, Mom and Dad, my favorite aunt, Aunty Alana and I piled into the car, and went on yet ANOTHER long drive. Didn't we just do this last weekend?

Again, over 90% of the stuff that was loaded into the car was MINE! Somehow, it all fit.

We were expected to arrive about 9-ish, but got there a lot sooner than we thought. After multiple trips back and forth in the dark, all my stuff was in the house. G-Pa had a pot of island style Portuguese Bean Soup waiting for us.

G-Ma and G-Pa got to see Cassie and Ethan's wedding in Mendocino, thanks to Dad's videography. They said it was the next best thing to being there. Everyone gushed on and on when Aunty Cassie came on the screen in her wedding gown. She looked so beautiful. There was some very touching footage of Uncle Ethan taking his vows. It was a very heartfelt experience.

And, we all agreed, Uncle Steve deserved the Entertainer of the Year award.

This, by the way, is a picture of me in my activities chair with my Aunty Alana being the guest activity."
