From Andrea: Apologies for the silence! After a surreal and other-worldly experience in Iceland, we flew to Paris and then to DFW the next day. Overnight in DFW then an early flight to Myrtle Beach, SC. That’s right, three days of traveling! I booked the tickets so far in advance, there were some changes that extended our time in airports:) Glad that’s behind us. We enjoyed a few days in Myrtle Beach visiting Aaron’s twin sister, Mercedes, and her family, as well as their mother. Aaron’s sister, Lucia, traveled down from NC with her daughters and we had a lovely reunion while enjoying the beach, sunshine, and shrimp. We said goodbye to them yesterday and drove to North Carolina where we are visiting Aaron’s dad and spending more time with Lucia and her family. The kids and I return to Waco on Tuesday and everyone is looking forward to hugging Lucky as well as sleeping in their own beds. After being completely burned out in the kitchen by the time we left in June, I’m happy to say I’m excited to get back to it and of course will try out some new recipes;) Anyone have a pasta maker to recommend?! Aaron will continue his sabbatical in this area for a couple more weeks. It’s hard to believe this summer is coming to an end!
