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.

What neat pics and fabulous trip! In record time, too! Looks like you did just the right amount of activities and allowed for lots of relaxed play! Way to go, Brandon family!!!
What an awesome trip! Rams and I were talking lately about all the grand vacations we would love to take our boy on someday. Travel is intimidating to us though…especially me. But the adventure and memories are worth it and thanks for another example of that!
