A Small Something

The kids and Rachel and I took a nice trip to California. Check out the photos. We stopped in Reno to visit Lillian, Emily, and William. Lillian went with us to see Monster House, which is pretty good. Sarah went with Lillian and Rachel to dinner while the boys and I checked into Circus Circus. We saw a fireworks display from our window that night.

The next day we went to Marine World. We had a pretty good time, but couldn’t enjoy it fully because it was SO hot. About 108° F when we left. As we drove about 40 minutes to Berkeley, it cooled down to 73° F. Lisa says that’s what they pay the big bucks for. We had a nice visit with Lisa, Scott, Stella, Chris, and Dean. Chris went with us Monday morning to San Francisco where we spent time at Pier 39, Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, and Ghirardelli Square.

Tuesday we left one bay to go to another. We had a lot of fun at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, then drove around Monterey Bay to our hotel which was right on the beach. The next day we went to the aquarium, of course, and played in the ocean. Thursday we drove across the state and through Yosemite. Friday we spent a little time in Virginia City. We woke up early Saturday morning to drive home.

Talked Sarah into going bowling with me and Rachel and David today. That’s a bit unusual but she didn’t want to bowl so I gave her the camera and she took pictures. She wouldn’t let anyone take her picture though, which is a shame because she’s going to have a big hole in her photographic history. Anyway, she took some fun ones that are online now.
