Some highlights:

• Met Gramma, grampa & his other family related to Mama D
• Met the Greensboro family, Aunties, Uncle & Adopted Grandparents!
• Flew in a plane twice- cross country & didn't cry once!!
• Spent hours with family during Thanksgiving and didn't cry once! (grin)
• Met our extended family and friends in San Diego
• AND MOST IMPORTANT: He saw the Pacific Ocean!! Our future surfer loved it....
• One interesting moment- Saturday night he was so tired, that he CRIED... and cried and cried... that was also a first.. Lo said afterwards, "the honeymoons over"... seems our baby is growing up!

Mama D's ma& pa, from Cali.. Gramma was the first surfer in the family! Grandpa and Riley have the same haircut!

















Aunt Colette, my sister! She surfs too...And is also a professional singer. I, on the other hand, could kill plant life with my singing....

























Loved seeing the ocean! It was beautiful...
