Spring Break '09

We just got back from a perfect week in Walnut Creek and San Francisco. It was a last minute plan to go visit the Lisi's and it couldn't have gone any better. We had gorgeous weather, lots of family meals, swimming at the hotel, scavenger hunts, a day in San Francisco, and lots of wonderful time with special friends.




Max and Alex playing on this cool spiderweb at the park





We loved playing in the Lisi's driveway with all their amazing toys.




A pretty afternoon at Broadway Plaza--downtown Walnut Creek



Wayne and the girls at Fisherman's Wharf with Alcatraz in the background



Sunny San Francisco




Sharing a yummy sundae at Ghiradele Square




The kids were amazed by the trolleys going up the hilly streets


The Golden Gate Bridge




Lombard Street



Many hours were spent at the hotel pool



Dinner at Yan Can's Restaurant


Mr. Mason



A trip to California wouldn't be complete without a trip(or two) to In N Out Burger!


Mt. Shasta......although it was a long 10 hour drive we did have some gorgeous scenery and saw a lot of Oregon and Northern California that we had never seen.


The sea lions at Pier 39 were a big hit of the trip


Max had a ball with Alex (and Mason too)....fun to have boys his age to play with.

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE your pics... like Jill said, I didn't realize all the different pics you had! Great S.F. shots too. We are so thankful that you braved the long drive and came to visit. I already totally miss talking to Emily, Morgan and Max- it was such a treat to spend so much time with them- they are adorable, special, sweet, kind and very well-mannered kids. We will all miss them (and you and Wayne!!) a lot.

Enjoyed your fun pictures! And the Lisis' pictures too. We would have loved to maybe settle out there 50 some years ago.
