The trip with my mom was fun &#8211; seeing her around her family really gives me so much insight into who she is and what she has come from.  I can&#8217;t say that I really understand it, but at least now I am starting to see why she and I don&#8217;t see exactly eye to eye on a lot of things.

I got to reconnect with my cousins, whom I grew up with and haven&#8217;t seen in way too long (see picture) and see some aunts and uncles that I haven&#8217;t seen in, god, close to ten or fifteen years.  And, as a bonus, I have collected enough material in these past three days to quite possibly fill an entire novel.
