Parents visit

The Parents...

come to visit


A few weeks ago my parents came up to the Bay Area for a visit. We had a lot of fun and it was definitely too short but it was fun while it lasted. We made dinner one night at our apt, had Carls Jr shakes, drove a lot, saw Muir Woods, Half Moon Bay, Carmel, Monterey, ate at the Taco Bell in Pacifica (with the best view any Taco Bell will ever have in my opinion), hiked, and hiked and hiked and then turned around :), played Scrabble (and my parents learned the real rules to Scrabble), had lunch with the Eggers in Gilroy, and visited my cousin Stephanie and her family. We are both so grateful for awesome parents and great families. We are so very blessed!

And yet another


Jason was taking all these pics while the park ranger was telling us about the trees. The park ranger wasnt as interesting as watching Jason take these pictures of himself from across the way :)

Me and my mom by some huge trees!

Pumpkin Patch
This place was sooo fun! Some of the pumpkins were still on the vines.











They even had wheelbarrows for us to wheel each other around.



Scarecrows








Here, Jason and I are discussing what our new finds could possibly be while I take the picture :) (notice the shadows, we didnt realize we were in the picture til later :))




Monterrey & Carmel

We drove the 17 mile drive through Pebble Beach, one of the most prestigious gold courses around. We heard that the waiting list to play here is many years long. We also saw some incredibly enormous houses, large crashing waves, sea lions and just awesome scenery overall (from what we could see through the fog).

Wow, a big fun post with lots of pictures. That definitely makes up for only blogging every week or two. Glad you guys & Boyd & Dot had fun together. Missing you, are you coming for Thanksgiving?
