Ryan's Road Trip - Part I

Ryan is on his road trip to Legoland and the San Diego area with his buddy Brooks and Brooks' family. This is suppose to be a birthday present for Brooks, but Ryan seems to be getting a good deal out of this too. Brooks is Ryan's friend from preschool. Although we don't live near each other, somehow the two of them have been able to maintain a good friendship that has resulted in Brooks' request to have Ryan join them on their family trip.

The trip included some creative scheduling as Brooks' older brother was in a soccer tournament in Sacramento which meant that they would be traveling north to go south. They had contingencies for their travel south depending on the results of the tournament. We have not heard about this, but we do know that they are approximately in the intended destination. We received the following text messages and photo from Brooks' mom.

Monday morning: On the grapevine. Kids doing great!

Monday during the day: Hi mom! Went swimming, shopping at wharf, eating Mexican now. Built B's presents and loving it! Drove by Legoland and cried, "we want to go now!"



Monday evening reply to Ryan: Hope ya'll had a relaxing day today after that drive.  Give Ryan a big hug for us and tell him we love him : )

Monday evening reply back: He says I love you too....I haven't forgotten about you yet dad.
