We were home for two weeks from our last big trip before we took off again.
Nicole graduated from nursing school a week after we got home so we were able to make it to her graduation. She passed the NCLEX a few weeks later and is a licensed nurse! Save some lives, Cole! When she’s not busy working, she’s off fighting fires. So proud of you, Colebear!
A few evenings later, RJ and I drove down to Chico to the fair. We had a grand ol’ time riding some of the rides.
And then it was time to pack again. And off we flew to New York City for a couple weeks. We had a little Airbnb in Brooklyn. RJ spent most of his days at the office and I explored more of the city and drank coffee, of course. (If my family holds an intervention for me, I won’t be surprised.) We ate good food and rode all over Brooklyn and Manhattan on the city bicycles after RJ got off work for the day. That was a lot of fun. It’s a game of not getting hit by traffic, not hitting traffic yourself, watching out for pedestrians, watching for car doors flying open, and basically disregarding all traffic laws just like everyone else.
Little Gustavo Garcia was born a few days before we got home. He is just the cutest little guy.
On the flight home, I got to talking to the girl sitting beside me. Turns out she was an exchange student from Ecuador who had a class with Alex this year. She had flown to NYC to visit her friend before flying back to Ecuador to be with her family.

Now we’re back home hanging out with all the animals and wake surfing here and there.
