CALIFORNIA 2008



We had a great time with my family, the kids loved going on a trip and they were very good.(I guess it help that we drove through the night.) While there we went to Capitola beach which is about 1/2 hour from where were and up by the Santa Cruz mountains. There is a neat looking sunken ship at this beach too. The weather was perfect, except for if you have ever been to a Northern Cali beach they are quite frigid, but the kids loved the sand more than anything.
Grant and Troy did some Bogey boarding but Troy had one nasty slip, and said he did not want to do any more because he ate some water.
It was quite windy so Trey was covered most of the time. But he looked cute with his swim suit on.


Another day they went swimming, but again it was too windy and and the water to cold. But they loved being by the water.

San Francisco was too much fun. Karina thought the city itself was fun. There are enough distractions with out actually paying for them, just along the street. Like the silver men, who have not lived up to their usual standards of cool, were non the less interesting for the kids. Pier 39 was great, the sea lions are fun to watch and this time we went to the under the bay aquarium, which was pretty cool, you walk through one of the underwater tunnels with lots of different kinds of sharks. And then at the end you go back up to pet the sting rays, star fish and a baby tiger shark, it was pretty neat.





It really was lots of fun. I might even do it again.
