Since on of the main reasons for our trip this spring was to attend my niece's wedding in California, and because Leiya was one of the bride's-maids, we all had to get from the Indiana house to California and that meant 5 of us and a lot of luggage.
Leiya ended up driving Tetsu and me to Evansville the evening before our flight out and we stayed at an AirBnB that she recommended (she and Tony had stayed there when they first were thinking of moving to Indiana and they'd stayed in touch with the owners.) It was a new experience for Tetsu and me to stay in a shared space AirBnB but it was quite homey and I learned a lot about AirBnB's from chatting with the owners.
The next morning (early!) Leiya dropped off Tony and Luka at the airport and then came and got us at the AirBnB and we were off on our next adventure!
There was a wonderful playroom at the Evansville Airport!
Luka's first airplane trip. No sleeping again!
We arrived in California (layover in Dallas), and after a wait, Takumi came to pick us up at the airport and Leiya's family rented a car.
And we made it to Takumi's house!
This was the first time for Tetsu and me to see Takumi and Julieta's new house too and we were interested in how different our children's homes are. Leiya's is woodsy and cozy, Takumi's is modern and light!
Though Luka was a bit intimidated by Takumi's rambunctious two doggies, he still took advantage of a doggie bed for a few minutes which made me laugh!
That night Leiya's family and Tetsu and I headed up to the mountain town of Idyllwild that is a favorite spot of Takumi and Julieta's and we stayed in another AirBnB. More tomorrow!
What a whirlwind trip, you crammed in so much and managed to see all the family there.
