An Early Mother's Day

There was no way I was going to let one of the worst allergy attacks I've ever had spoil a day with my mom. For a while it seemed like every hole in my head was leaking but it was totally worth it.

Because we're leaving on Mother's Day, my mom and I wanted to meet up and give her a chance to see Darcey's side of the family while they are in California. Everyone was there except for Sean. He had to work at his fire station in Malibu.

The Camarillo Outlets was the cool place to be, especially because it was empty due to being Monday. A new Johnny Rocket's is opening but is still being constructed much to the groups disappointment. We had to settle for food court Thai food. I got a kick out of seeing Eoin walk right to the stand he liked and order chips. The guy behind the bar kept telling him they don't have chips but Eoin kept saying it over and pointing at the big picture. Finally Hailey saved the day by walking over and explaining to Eoin and the food guy that he wanted french fries. Irish.
After a few hours of shopping and talking about the past and future, the group was pretty burnt out and wanted to get some rest. Darcey was a trooper all day. The queasy feelings haven't worked themselves all the way out of her system yet. She hung in there all day like a champ. I ended up getting some sweet camouflage shorts I've wanted forever. I don't know why. But Eoin and I matched and that's what's important. It was awesome to see my mom. Living a couple hours away keeps us from seeing each other and family as much as we'd like. It was cool to look at little kid cloths with her and listen to her remember things about me when I was little.
