We have been waiting for this week for so long. The first part of April has meant a break from chemo and enough time after surgery where Millie could get around comfortably.
We were treated by my wonderful colleagues in the Northern California chapter of Site (The Society of Incentive and Travel Executies) with a weekend in Monterey to celebrate this milestone, and stayed at the luxurious Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa for 3 nights in a room right over the water. Each morning and evening we'd watch the sea otters floating and playing in the water below our windows. We were also treated to a private behind-the-scenes tour of the Monterey Bay Aquarium with host Scott. Millie asked a lot of questions and enjoyed the jellyfish and large sharks most of all.
The weather was beautiful, and we even ran into my sister-in-law Andrea's parents at a restaurant in Pacific Grove! Such serendipity.
Attached are some video highlights of our weekend.
We have one more week without chemo, and we're hoping Millie can go back to school. She misses her teacher and classmates very much.

Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing. Tell Millie we are super impressed at how well she is getting around with the cast. Tell Griffin that Lincoln says "hi" and wants to visit CA... someday I hope we can do that again. We are so overdue for a visit. But till then email, blogs and facebook it is.
