Hola again. Many of you already know we went to the US in July & August. We drove from Guadalajara to Denver in 3 days, and then stayed with friends in Denver for a week, and Joe's brother Alan for a week. We then preceded south to Houston, and stayed a 5 days with Uncle Dan & Aunt Marty. Again the long drive home from Houston took 2 days. Yeah!! All things considered, the kids did great in the car. They are good travelers. Like they had a choice. The hardest part is the 12 hour drive from Laredo, TX to Guadalajara. We had a great time with our family and friends, but were glad to get home. Thanks to Joe's pre-planning, we had a 5 day trip to the beach to enjoy before school was to start for us again. The weather was hot in August, but since we spent most of the time at the pool or beach, it was bearable. Alexandra and I went to a few night shows, however, and about passed out from heat stroke. It is clear that HOT for us, and HOT for Mexicans is not the same. I was pouring sweat, and they appeared to be fine, even comfortable. Maybe it is just bad genetics that I sweat so much. Luckily, my daughter has inherited those genes. Anyway, it was a great trip, and we are extremely grateful for all the hospitality shown by our family and friends. We wish we could have stayed longer, but because we only had 5 weeks off until school started, we had limited time. Thanks for the free lodging and food, the laughs, the babysitting, and diaper changes, as well as the free concert tickets (including child care), Tucker walks, and Mega Mel competition. We love you guys!!!! We hope so see some of you at Christmas, and some others at Easter vacation. Otherwise, we have a place for you if you want to visit when the weather up north is COLD.
