California Road Trip

Warning: 1 billion pictures up ahead:

Trip starts with Cody asleep in the car. Super cute. Aunt Sue and Uncle "Pirate" Doug:









Windmills as far as the eye can see:
San Francisco Giants vs. Chicago Cubs (we were very unpopular as we cheered for the Cubs):













At the end, sea gulls came swooping in by the masses to clean the stadium of all left over food.
San Francisco Zoo:

























All the car excitement at its finest:


Lombard Street, AKA Windiest Street in the World:
Alkatraz:
Sourdough at Fisherman's Wharf:









Every time Cody saw steps, he had to sit and rest:



Kids in a Candy Store:









Rocking out to music:
Hotel Schmotel:
Nonna and Kathleen cleaning fresh plums:
Nonna and Pere with Kathleen:










Bennie and Yalla:
Santa Cruz:













Boardwalk:

































Monkey #1:















Monkey #2:




















Kathleen threw a seat belt at Brandon and nailed him in the head, causing panic mode for mom as he gushed blood. Luckily it was a tiny pin hole that just happened to bleed A LOT!

Capitola: Grandma and Grandpa didn't make it very long before they were out cold.
















Cody dumped sand on his head and then would head bang until it came out. Over and over and over and over.

Dinner at Chevys for Grandma and Grandpa's Anniversary celebration:


Only fitting that the trip would end the same way it started:

Ang, What a trip!!!! You fit everything in, didn't you? I'm glad you had fun (at least it looked like you were having fun). I am jealous and sooooooo very itching to go on a vacation!! I can't wait for Spokane (dreading the flight out there, but excited about the trip). You guys are still coming, right? Love all the pictures of your cute, cute kids. Hopefully, we'll see you soon.
