When we dropped the kids off there was not one tear and apparently they could not wait for us to leave, so off we went!
On Thursday we stayed at a very nice B&B, the Amber house. They totally pamper you here. This is a picture of our bedtime snack. In the morning we had fresh fruit followed by eggs benedict.
After swinging by our house and trading the minivan for Jon's "little car" as the kids refer to it we headed to Mendocino and checked into our much smaller and less luxurious room at the Mendocino hotel. I was majorly car sick after the Hwy 20 experience but we pressed onward and ordered room service. We are such troopers! 
On Saturday, Jon had arranged for us to go kayaking in the ocean which was really, really fun! I was a little nervous about it being hard or scary but it wasn't. Plus, I had Jon to do most of the work.
The last night we spent at home and that was weird with the kiddos. We even got to watch an episode of "The Commish" which was fun. Apparently Jon had never seen "The Commish" before I introduced it to him via Netflix. Weird!
Sunday, we went and picked up some kids who didn't want to come home(too much fun with the cousins) and now we are home. It was a good trip!
