Alex feels like crap!

So our attempt at a weekend getaway started out pretty good.  We got Lauren's first smashed penny and penny book.  Then we had lunch at Mo's.  The food was great, BUT, they changed the fries.. Not a good idea!!  The new ones are terrible. But whatever.  Then we walked on the pier while running into the Lambkins (very fun) and Ray & Michelle (a bride and groom on their 5th anniversary).. wow, 5 years! 

A nice couple took our family photo. It's a little hard to see Lauren, but they got a good shot of town. 
This  photo below of Chris and Alex is special to me. I have this same shot of just Chris 12 1/2 years ago on the day we started dating. We were so young then. No babies, no mortgage, just us finding each other. Simple.  :)   I'll have to find it and repost it.

When we got back to Emelie's and later that night, Alex started getting sick. He threw up. We thought it was just dehydration and too much sun until he continued to throw up this morning. We thought he was doing better but then he fell asleep on the dog bed and then was sick again when he woke. So we packed up and came home.  It was very sad. He slept for most of the trip, but at one point for about 40 minutes, he just stared blankly out the window not saying a word. It breaks my heart. He asked for bed the second we got home and after a 3 hour nap seems to be doing a little better. He's always better when he's on the couch with daddy. 

Chris called in sick tomorrow and plans on staying home with him. I have to go to Pasadena for a trade show. I image that chris and alex will spend the entire day watching TV together. It's a good way to recover... and chris a chance to catch up on his Good Eats.   :)
