We had a great time on our mini-trip to Sacramento and ended up being able to visit with quite a few family and friends. We arrived in Sacramento on Friday afternoon and met up with Bubba and Ray for dinner. They took us to a fantastic dinner at Luca's in mid-town Sacramento. Both Ben and I were amazed at all of the urban renewal that had taken place over the past 8 years since we left the area. After dinner and our visit with Bubba and Ray, Ben took me to Leatherby's for the famous caramel sundae....yum yum!!! We then headed over to Leah and Dan's and caught up on current events. The next day we headed over to Land's Park for Gabe's, Leah's, and everyone else's birthday party. We were really worried that the weather was going to be hot and unbearable, but luck was on our side and it was a beautiful sunny day....perfect for the park!! Gabe was adorable and we enjoyed spending time with everyone.
We left Sacramento on Sunday and headed to Stockton. Our first stop was to visit Dre, Suzy, and Zen to drop off a "backup" teddy bear for Zen. We then headed over to my grandparents' house and went to lunch with my grandparents, parents, and sisters for Father's Day. After some dim sum, we got back on the Golden State Freeway to travel back home.
To sum up our weekend, as Ben might say, "I'll take a three day trip to Sacramento and a baby over a two week trip to Australia and Hawaii any day -- provided the kid is mine!"

yeah, Hawaii shmawaii. Thank you guys so much for coming. Who would have been our servants if Ben had not been? We loved seeing all three of you, especially the growing Deneen. Hope we get to see you again this weekend.
Love, Leah, Dan, and Gabe (who is probably your best friend now, ice cream giver)
