Vacations....Memories

Some days are just harder than others in this grieving process. Sometimes memories, photos or words seem to knock the wind out of me. We've had a crazy month of friends and family. In February, I got to walk down memory lane with friends we've had for 20 years. We went on several very fun trips with them to Mexico, Disneyland and other places. We looked at those photos and fondly remembered the 4th of July. I'm looking forward to spending that day with them this year, our first 4th of July without Steve.




On our trip to Mexico in August 1997 we had a fabulous trip. We stayed in a beautiful room, ate amazing food and had lots of fun. We go to rent scooters, jet skis, had drinks at the "Office" and swam in a fountain that we thought was a pool. Steve was so much fun. I thought for sure he was going to propose that trip, but he didn't. He waited until October 16th. It was still a great trip. I remember he and Ernie being crazy on the scooters, but that was nothing new. My "niece", Sophia, asked Ernie about his craziest memory and he couldn't decide between that, skiing or other trips we had. My crazy love!!


Our trip we just returned from was Giants Spring Training. Steve used to love that trip with his Dad, Brother, Brother-in-law and nephews. He would probably object to my going, but the boys obviously can't travel on their own! :-) It used to be a "boys" weekend, which is probably why there's no pictures of any of their trips. We had an amazing time with the family though. The boys love Uncle Kyle, are in awe he knows so many people. The boys had a great time swimming and going to a Giants game. Jeremy was so proud and excited to be there, he even caught a fly ball! He kept asking if Daddy would have been excited to bring them. I am sad Steve never got to take the boys to Arizona, but we know he was there in spirit.
