After a day of straight driving to Cali, we woke up early and headed to San Fransisco Bay to watch the air show. We walked (way too far) to get to the bay and then found the perfect spot. Too bad for us that the the Blue Angels only did a quick pass-by that day because of the fog that had set in. We were pretty bummed, but were able to make it back the next day to see the real show.
We were so glad that Grandma Nielsen let us come stay with her for almost a whole week! It was a fun chance for me to get to know her better and we hope we can go back soon! Grandma was such a sport to take us to an air base so we could look at the planes and then to walk the Jelly Belly Factory with us (despite how many times she's seen it).
{Is there any chance he won't fly someday?}{I loved the Jelly Belly Factory. I have to admit, I even loved the hats they made us wear.}
Later that week Brian's parents drove out and Beth flew out from SLC. We somehow talked Jenny into flying out from D.C. and that made a full house at Grandma's. It was great to have such a group and we enjoyed every second. We spent a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and LOVED IT!
{This may have been in the kids area. So what?}
{So beautiful!}
{So beautiful!}
On the "way home" we took a stop in Henderson, Nevada to visit the Howarth's. We have missed them being in Provo and stayed up pretty late playing Killer Bunnies and ROOK. I am sad I didn't snag a picture of their cute little boy, Matthew, but take my word for it, he's adorable. :) We hope we can get back down to Nevada again, but this time we'll avoid the Vegas Strip.
i love the pictures from your trip! looks like you guys had so much fun
ReplyDeleteSo... when are you going to go into photography? You are so talented at taking pictures. Next time you come down I want you to do a photo shoot of my family! Love the pictures of the planes - it makes me want to go see the air show, which has never really interested me before, but I know Michael would love it - Hey we should go together next year!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Vegas is the best! The night never ends. Looks like your trip was fun. I'm excited to see you on Thanksgiving. Love and miss ya!
