Way back when, March 23rd-ish, we drove up to visit my sister, Rebekah, at the Presidio of Monterey where she's studying at the Defense Language Institute. Noah was in town for spring break too, so we all packed into a rented minivan with my folks and headed to Monterey. The drive was about 5-6 hours. We stopped for gas about half way--the gas station we pulled into happened to have a little McDonalds attached to it. Lacy saw the yellow archway and threw her two little fists in the air and yelled "MCDONALDS!" What a goober. Both girls did really well on the road. It was nice to have my mom in the back seat to give Anjali a bottle when neccessary. Thank goodness for DVD players--Lacy was a great traveler as long as she could watch "Cinderella Tree" or any other movie we brought along for that matter.
Rebekah looked fantastic. Not only is she in great physical shape, she seems to have adapted very well to military life--ranking near the top of her Chinese class. Rebekah also taught Lacy to say hi in Chinese. (Check video.)
While we were there we managed to squeeze in a visit to the Monterey Aquarium and the Winchester Mystery House. Here are some pics from the trip.

We miss you Rebekah!
