((( sorry for my absence last week, life... i am back on track now, and will be finishing up san diego and all of my california adventure posts this week... finally )))
On Saturday (7/6) I got a chance to meet up with pretty much the entire Blechman side of the family at a little park by the bay in San Diego.
I had not seen most of these people since I was a little girl, I am talking four or five, and some I had never even met. This was kind of a once in a lifetime experience, especially seeing my Grandpa Rodger and both of his brothers (one of which is older) together in person. I am glad that I could be a part of it, and reconnect with that side of my Dad's family, who I had been feeling a bit disconnected from prior to this summer.
A thank you to my older cousin Nicole who snapped a ton of pictures throughout the day.
