As an early birthday present, my parents bought me and Brandon a plane ticket to go back to the island. This was to be out last excursion before I headed back to the office and I was really looking forward to it. I had dreams of window shopping downtown, strolling along the habour and beach combing at the waters edge. The dates were set for Oct 4 - Oct 9th.
I am happy to report that once again, Brandon was excellent on the plane. He was a little harder to handle (because he's 20 lbs now) but overall still a very good boy. We landed on time and without any problems. Shortly thereafter we all got sick.
Yep. Mom, Dad, me and Brandon all caught a cold. It wasn't very fun. Brandon and I had just gotten over a nasty cold that had lingered for a week before our trip. It was a disappointment but we made the most of it. We got to visit with my brother and his family. We were invited to dinner at my Uncle Steve's. While there we caught up with my cousin Sarah and her little 18 month old daughter Evelyn. We also saw my cousin Katie who was 30 weeks pregnant at the time (baby's due in December). Later in the week we visited with my grandmother and I could tell she was pleased to see Brandon again.
There was no shopping downtown or walks over to the ocean but we got to spend quality time with family and let's face it, that's what makes a holiday special. So thank you Mom and Dad for your generosity and your hospitality. I do hope we get to see you again soon!
