We made it to Minnesota.

Well the week before we left for Minnesota Lu came down with a stomach virus. Yes, the requisite vomiting and diarrhea for 5 days. I just can't reiterate enough how glad I was that it didn't happen in Minnesota. If you've forgotten our last trip to Minnesota (in April) was plagued by the rotavirus which resulted in a trip to the emergency room and an overnight stay. Then Grandpa got sick...and well it just wasn't a fun visit.
But, I'm happy to report that we made it to Minnesota and back healthy, wealthy, and wise. We had a great trip visiting family and friends. Per usual, it went by way to fast.
I also have to give Lu props for being so good on the airplane. The traveling was pretty painless.

Lu got lots of great toys.
