Our Life in Words and Photos

We're Back!

We're finally home from an eventful trip to the East Coast. We were living by the suitcase for 2 weeks as we trotted from New York to Canada to Chicago.

When we got back, it felt summertime in the Bay Area when compared to the weather in the East Coast. It was already in the 30s when we were there!

Kail was harboring a fever on our flight back. Thank God the Tylenol kept him sleeping all the time. I was really afraid we'd get a repeat of our trip home to the Philippines where he cried the whole 12 hours! I guess the weather really got to him. Stubborn as he is, he refused to wear his bonnet, nor his mittens, and he doesn't even want to wear socks at times!

Hubz aunt gave me an LV bag as a birthday gift. She took me to an LV store and asked me to pick any bag I wanted and she'll pay for it. I was beyond shocked. She has done too much for us. She paid for our hotel the whole 6 nights we were in Chicago. She lent us their van so we could get around. She would take us to dinner on most nights they're not busy with their business. And then she took us shopping! After too much prodding, she got me this bag (the Tulum). After all, if it was just me, I couldn't imagine myself spending that much money for a bag.

Funny thing is that my husband was so shocked of the price that on our way back, he kept checking if I have the box at hand. When we were boarding the plane to San Francisco, we left the box at the boarding gate. My husband ran with Kail in his arms to get it. In the midst of all the flurry, the flight attendant at the gate asked where he was going and he blurted out in Tagalog "may kukunin lang ako". He said he was so worried that he couldn't think how to translate that in English, hahaha! All's well that ended well because he found it just sitting where we left it - whew! Hubz said that bag's going to give him a heart attack, hahaha!

I still haven't uploaded the photos. Will hopefully do that one of these days!
