Report from Mexico

Kara has sent a couple of emails letting us know how they are doing. Her first email was sent from her iPad while still at the airport. She reports that the TSA agent helping them through security took a look at Matt and she with three small children and said " Good luck, you're going to need it!" And then as they were walking on: "You're crazy..."

They flew from Anchorage to Seattle and then from Seattle to Puerta Vallarta with a stop in San Francisco. While in San Francisco they could have volunteered to take a later flight (the flight was oversold) and earned five $400 airline coupons. Kara told Matt "No!". What is the going price for sanity? $2000!

Kara wrote that while riding the taxi to the resort, Viva commented "I bet Grandma misses us now. She went away and we missed her. And now we're gone and she'll miss us lots." That girl understands her grandma.

Kara's other report on their vacation so far: "We went out to dinner for Grandma Karen's birthday, we didn't get home until almost 11 pm (although it's 3 hours ahead here so that's just 8 pm at home). The children ate lots of steak and brownies, and then didn't want to sleep. One day down, no sunburns - except for Matt!"

And lastly: "Jake likes papaya. Bentley is turning into a swim pro (with his shark kickboard Grandpa Tim found). Viva? Busy charming people with her assertive, loud self."
