We are back...

We just got back from a 4-day family reunion up in the bay area, it was a good time, good food and I took way too many photos that I will post just as soon as I upload them...The first day we did a bus tour of SAN FRAN and stopped at the Golden gate Bridge, then we went on a ferry to Alcatraz which was a good time, I have always wanted to go there!!! The next day we spent at Grandma's the kids went swimming together then she took all of them (With us parents of course) to TOYS R US and gave them some Money and then let them loose on the store to pick out some toys, I think that was one of the highlights of the trip for the kids...Other then that we went out to eat every nite and chilled at the Hotel...It was nice to see everyone, there was us 6 grandkids, the spouses and then 9 great grandkids....so yea, lots of excitement and action at dinner times ha ha! We also celebrated Duane's 30th birthday there, we went to Chevy's and they gave him a Mexican hat and sang him "Happy Birthday" their style, then the following nite we ate at a restaurant called "Buck's" that is the coolest restaurant I have ever been too, they have "Odd, unusual and fascinating" things all over the restaurant...They told them it was Duane's birthday the day before so the waiters came out with a HUGE Sundae and bagpipes, trumpets and every other instrument which NONE of them could play and sang Happy Birthday, it was a great time....Lots of fun. Will post the pics shortly!!!
