Spring Break 2016

This year for Spring Break we went to visit Joey's parents.  Sammie was already sick when we left and I had taken her to the doctor the day before we left because she had a persistent fever for 5 days straight.  After some blood work that we got the results of the next day, the doctor said it was a virus and we headed out of town.  Sammie just wasn't herself for the next 2 days and seemed to feel a little better and then a little worse.  After dragging her around shopping and then going to San Francisco, I called her doctor and she prescribed some antibiotics.  She immediately started to feel better.
The whole reason we wanted to go to San Francisco was so Sammie could visit Chinatown.  She chose it for her State project and wanted to take pictures and get some things for her presentation.
Even though she wasn't feeling great, we went anyway and had a good time.  She and I took turns riding in my wheelchair so neither of us would get too worn out.
We also saw the movie "Zootopia" which we all loved.
We enjoyed seeing Grandma and Grandpa.  I loved watching everyone gather around Jackie as she showed us a memory book she had been working on for herself.  We don't get to visit often enough and Grandpa Jerry had to be extra careful around Sammie because he had a liver transplant a few months ago and is on his long road to recovery from that.  We feel so blessed that he was able to have the surgery that saved his life, but it will be a long road ahead still.
We made it home Saturday afternoon tired and exhausted since we had all been sharing a hotel room and poor Sammie was coughing all night every night.  Except for Abby.  She slept like a log.  We enjoyed being with family and I always find a trip to San Francisco satisfying and refreshing.

Jackie bought Abby this yellow sweatsuit on our shopping trip and all day we kept referring to it as "the banana suit."  We kept telling her if she got lost, we just ask people if they saw a little girl in a banana suit.  She thought it was hilarious.
