We are home!  Janelle, Dylan, Julia and I flew from Fargo to the Phoenix area, rented a car, drove across the desert to San Diego and back, then flew home.  Whew!  We learned a bit about air travel with our kids (DON”T bring the car seats on the plane, check them!), played in the desert, mountains and ocean, went to the zoo and visited grandparents in the relatively balmy February sunshine.
