While us grownups were in Orcas Island, the kids spent a lovely week down in Salem with their Swank grandparents:

My mom flew out for a visit, and the kids and I took her straight from the airport to the beach. Becky was supposed to meet us out there, but a snowstorm stranded her in our construction zone of a house:

I eventually rescued her with the Jeep, and we all got some lovely winter beach time together.
