- Jack and I are staying in Sola's room for this trip, and she told me we are welcome to read any of her books.
- Yesterday I played an excellent game of Tichu. Everett and I beat Neil and Jack, and it was close. Close games are more fun.
- Dinner was delicious, and I like our annual tradition of singing along loudly to music (especially Disney music) while cleaning up after.
- Then Jack and I got to swing dance a lot, and I also danced a lot with Sola and Rocket. That was my favorite part of the day, to be sure.
- I love that Jack likes to dance.
- Harrison has clearly watched my home video playlists a lot, which makes me so happy. He can quote from home videos from several years ago, and he knows exactly which video is the first one in a playlist.

- We played many Tichu games. During some of them I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.
- I also made 5 Tichus and broke none, upping my record (hooray!)
- A bunch of us went and sang karaoke at a local bar.
- There were just the right amount of people to make it feel happening, but still few enough that we had plenty of room to dance and we got to sing many songs.
- I love that my family likes to dance.
- I also love that my boyfriend likes to dance.
- He and I did a bunch of swing dancing and a random stranger complimented us on how well we dance! I think we practiced more during this trip than we have in months.
- I got to sing "Son of a Preacher Man" which is one of my favorite songs, and my siblings did back up.
- Another random stranger bought our whole table shots that tasted like pineapple upside down cake. It was his way of thanking our group for making the bar so fun that night.
- So we all ran over and gave him a group hug, pretty funny.
- At the end of the night we all sang "What's Going On" by 4 Non Blondes, then the karaoke DJ announced our departure and a bunch of people clapped and hugged us and shook our hands as we were leaving.
- We also got some great videos and pictures of it.
- The next day was more chill--we got to hang around the house and play with Rocket and Zoey and play cards with each other.
- I also had time to work on the ever-increasing home video collection for our family a lot throughout the trip.
- In the evening Denny and I watched Zoey and she was very cute for a long time playing with poker chips.
- I also shared a bowl (two bowls) of Corn Pops with Rocket, each of us taking turns taking bites and then slurping the milk. It was a nice bonding time.
- We stayed up late enough to see Julie after work and we watched the "Goats that sound like humans" video and laughed a lot.
- Yesterday we got to the airport in plenty of time and even though our flight left late, we still arrived in SF on time.
- Oh, and on the way through security I was behind the most efficient passengers I've ever seen. They had their shoes and belts and etc. off and their laptops out and everything ready to go so far in advance that I was struggling to keep up, haha. It was kind of cool.
