My wife spent a week in Philadelphia as a chaperone for a high school Model United Nations field trip--I decided to spend the week visiting family and friends in California (ie. get a little help with the kids)!
We celebrated my daughter's third birthday with her two great-grandmas, spent time in my sister's recording studio listing to her bass player lay down his track for their upcoming album, and spent a few days in the Sierra with my friend Nate and his family. It was a good trip.
