America

So in case you did not know, we are in America right now. On Monday evening we flew to the capital; then on Tuesday afternoon we flew to San Francisco and on to Houston. We will be in the US until January 8th. At the recommendation of other people who have come in for a short trip from living abroad, we were keeping it on the DL for a while, but since we are here and everyone who knows our parents probably already knows that we are here, why not start putting up pictures from our trip?

We are having a lot of fun. First thing off of the flight we went to eat Tex-Mex! It was glorious! On Wednesday morning we attempted to renew KB's driver's license, but thanks to their holiday hours I am getting to sit behind the wheel until KB gets his expired license renewed tomorrow morning. I was a little concerned that I would be a bit rusty after not driving for more than 2 years, but it turns out I am still better at driving than a lot of other people : )

After the failed visit to the DMV we took AB to the mall for a formal rite of passage - her first picture with Santa. The line was like 4 hours long, so we paid to get a picture with a better looking Santa. They were able to get one picture in just before she lost it, but that was good enough. Turns out my kid is just like all the other kids when they meet Santa for the first time. We also enjoyed some Chick-Fillet, super yum!

The rest of the days have been filled with eating, shopping, and seeing friends and family.
