First Vacation without CJ

Mom and dad had the opportunity to visit the Canary Islands for one of dad's college friend's wedding. No babies allowed!! So CJ got to spend a vacation with his Grandma and Great Grandma, who came all the way from California to watch him for 5 days.

Since they came a few days early, we got to play around the house for a bit.






And do some work together...


And some shopping, where CJ discovered coin-operated rides.



After mom and dad finally left, CJ showed the Grandmas how to play golf.



And rode the tractors at Terhune's Farm.



He played with the animals.





And showed them around the club.



CJ loved the park.




And the Hopewell Memorial Day Parade.








Grandma took more than 100 pictures from the whole week! To see the rest, click here.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, mom and dad were relaxing at the Abama Hotel & Resort in Tenerife, Canary Islands.


The scenery was beautiful (those are banana trees under those giant tents!).



and beach access was very exclusive.


The hotel was built Marrakesh style.





After sleeping in and missing the group trip to the volcanoes, we decided to do the 1-hour drive ourselves.





A Welcome Dinner at the Golf Club was held the first night. The second night was the "Beach Party"...



where there were fireworks...


and camels...


and carnival dancers...


and a laser show...


The next night, getting ready to head over to the wedding:


Our "Photo Call" shot:

The reception was amazing.


Tina Turner even made an appearance.


After the long flight home, we were greeted with a lovely "welcome home" sign!

Mulching!

CJ likes helping daddy mulch. And it's a good thing too because we have 30 yards of it to go!
