\"\"<\/a>The muppets and I made a mad dash for the sunny Southern California coast this past weekend. During our whirlwind family reunion tour I was reminded how much I miss living near my extended family.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Tanget \u2013 but pertinent: While I was away my Twitter account<\/a> got hacked. I apologize if you got a random message from me. I assure you I am not ROFL from a picture I found of you, I am not finally working from home making lots of money, nor have I ordered a replica Rolex that looks totally real. If you have no idea what I\u2019m talking about or what this Twitter is, please disregard this interruption to your previously scheduled post.)<\/p>\n

The muppets and I loaded up the MomMobile bright and early and hit the road. Being the clever parent that I am, I was prepared to entertain the boys on the car ride with the CD from our Music Together<\/a> class. I had visions of a family sing-along as we coasted down the coast. (Granted, this vision was more in the theme of a Griswald family vacation, inching along the miles and miles of Central Coast nothingness in a minivan complete with wood paneling.)<\/p>\n
