After the family reunion we all flew to San Francisco to meet up with our "San Francisco Cousins." Jeff's brother Andy, his wife Jenny, and their daughters Naomi and Isabel have lived here for 5+ years, and we love to visit. Last time we were there Celeste was 4 months old! A lot has changed since then...One of my favorite memories, for which we don't have a picture, was running the Lands End/Lincoln Park trail with Gwyneth, and exclaiming, "Look at this view!" about a hundred times (Golden Gate in the background). Here are a few of the good times we did get pictures for:
 |
| On our first day (Friday) we drove north to hike in a redwood forest, and hopefully catch some sun. It had been many days since Jenny had seen the sun! |
 |
| Here we are basking in 5 minutes of sun. Little did we know that it would be the last sun until Sunday afternoon! |
 |
| From the hike we drove to the coast, hoping the sun would follow us; it didn't. We couldn't understand the point of this beach because it's so dangerous a person shouldn't even be on the sand! |
 |
| We decided to try surfing and boogie boarding. Camille looked so adorable in her wet suit! |
 |
| Andy giving advice about the surf, etc.... |
 |
| Jeff and Andy fixing the sink Sunday morning. I love this picture! |
 |
| Sunday afternoon at Andy's lab, Romny Scientific, in San Bruno. |
 |
| Camille, the future scientist. |
 |
| We had to see at least one of Silicon Valley's stars. Time got away from us so we couldn't visit the Google-plex, next time... |
 |
| We took a skyline drive in the mountains, and stopped at this overlook of the Bay and Silicon Valley. |
 |
| At a small lake in the moutnains. |
 |
| We met up with Scotty at Stanford for a tour of this beautiful campus. Notice how the sun is shining. Jenny, you should move down here! |
 |
| Scotty with Gwyneth and Elise. Who has grown the most? |

 |
| Jeff had to get a picture of the sun's rays, the light blurring the photo! |
 |

 |
| Golden Gate Bridge on Monday. |
 |
| Crazy entertainer we happened to meet in Haight-Ashbury. |
 |
| Last surfing trip. Andy and Jenny were amazing at outfitting our entire family to surf. Next time, if the sun comes out, I'll try to make a fool of myself. |

| Celeste finding sand dollars. Later Camille would look for them - the beach was covered witht hem. Jenny offered $1 for every sand dollar. Little did she know, this offer would break the bank. |
 |
| Jeff and Andy deep in conversation. |
 |
| Elise is Awesome! |

sRebekah! You are too kind! "It had been many days since Jenny had seen the sun" should have been followed by "And she was completely b----y about it!" Have I apologized enough yet for my seasonal affective disorder while you were here? We are having gorgeous, sunny, 70 degree weather here this week... Can you come back???
I love both of the pictures of Andy and Jeff together. The second one makes one wonder what Mountain Dew thinks of Arizona States ideas. Cute picture of Gywneth and the arches. And Camille looks like she is up really high, really cute. I love the one of Elise in front of the danger sign. Looks like everyone had a really good time.
