Family Trumps All

The Southwest Chief was 40 minutes late picking us up in Williams, AZ . But while we slept the conductor made up time en route and rolled into L.A.'s Union Station right in time.









It was really fun to see Miles, Emery, Oliver and Mila react to one another as they reunited in Woodland Hills today. It quickly reminded me that - even compared to something as amazing as the Grand Canyon - "family" trumps everything else.










This afternoon we took in a matinee of the new 'Despicable Me 2' movie, which was a big hit with all four children.











Late afternoon Miles, Emery and I joined Addison and Oliver to watch Oliver's swim lesson, while Mila opted for a nap.






Dinner tonight was fresh seafood at the Reel Inn, right on the PCH in Malibu. The food was great!












It has been a fabulous start to our visit here in LA, and we are so grateful to Addison and Amy for opening up their beautiful home to us.
