Day Five - Catching up with friends

After the craziness of Christmas day, my dad and I took Dan to the airport at 5 AM!!! Unfortunately, he had to cut his vacation short and return to Long Beach to work. I promptly returned to bed after our morning trek to SeaTac. I then spent the day visiting the Budd family and meeting their newest addition, Griffin. Griffin is my one my oldest friend's baby and her third. I always get a giggle seeing Lora with her three children because I never imagined her to have any children let alone THREE (before me too). After my visit with them, I went to see another old friend Dona. It's been years since I have seen her so we had a lot to talk about around the warm fire. I first met her when she was my family's next door neighbor. I began babysitting for her at a very early age and even went on annual vacations with her family to Montana as their on board babysitter.
