FAMILY'S VISIT

I just realized it's been over a month since I posted anything on here. Wow, talk about being busy and not even realizing it.

Okay....perhaps I wasn't all that busy except for the week my family was here...

....perhaps I just didn't do anything exciting enough to bother sharing with anyone :)

I guess once you've lived some place for 6 months, even somewhere as exciting and diverse as San Francisco, you start to settle into real life and stop running around doing all the touristy things every chance you have off.

Good thing I'm moving to San Diego in Sept (FINGERS CROSSED BECAUSE I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT A JOB!!), because the touristy crap is what I love best!

Anyway, the girls arrived on a Wed night and stayed until the following Tues night. We did a good mix of tourist sites and beaches and just lounging by my pool. Before they came, I told them to pack warmer clothes than they'd wear in Ontario, since Norther California isn't as hot and DEFINITELY isn't as humid as back East.

Figures they'd arrive in the middle of the bloody heat wave.

Here are some of the pictures from when my Mom, Ally and Danielle came for there visit. More to follow once Danielle is able to send them to me.

One of the beaches south of the city off the I-280. It's a big, pretty place, but it's totally open ocean and is pretty rough for swimming. The surfers were out in force though.

At Golden Gate on their first day here. We were a little delayed due to an unexpected side-trip to Stanford ED, but the problem was solved quickly and we were soon on our way. The fog was rolling in by the time we got there, but it just made for more interesting pictures.

Danielle and Ally loved this bench. Do you recognize the monkeys and the phrase they are portraying?

Palm Drive, on the Stanford campus. Palm trees don't grow naturally this far north, but the school has done a great job transplanting them and now there are so many scattered throughout the campus, you'd never know they weren't natural.
