and sure nice for Griff and I too! We kept her busy the whole week with travels and eating and shopping and playing games. We sure miss you grandma Jan!
Checking out the Golden Gate at night.
Santa Cruz! It was so cold that day!
Griff leaning at the Mystery Spot..... it is very mysterious.
Rainforest Cafe... always a must.
At the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Grandma Jan was brave enough to touch a sting ray!
Sophie pulling the Cannery whistle.
Sophie wanted to take Grandma to her favorite place. It is so crazy here. Soph just can't get enough chuck e cheese. The building is located right next to the freeway and when we drive by it she can see the big purple mouse and screams "chuck e cheese! Hi chuck e cheese!" There should be laws against advertising directed towards children.
Down here they have these things called pumpkin patches where you go and pick out your pumpkins before Halloween. (I know, kinda weird). But they always have lots of fun stuff. We went to this one that had a little maze and a haunted hay bale house. The girls loved it.
Mia is seriously tough. Like future rugby player tough. It's not easy having Sophie as an older sibling.

Mia eating some hay.
Mean daddy taking Sophie into the haunted house. There is nothing in there, it's just a dark tunnel. When I went through with Mia though, some bratty kid was hiding in there and scared me. Little punk.
We were so sad to see Grandma Jan to the airport. We made some good memories: Jess FINALLY won settlers of catan for the first time in her life,

We discovered one star motels really aren't that bad,
You can gain five pounds in one week when you eat yourself sick every night,
Sophie had a blast at the park watching soccer with Grandma,
Jan saw finding nemo for the first time ever,
Life is wonderful when someone else doesn't mind changing dirty diapers,
I think the most important memory is that the girls got to know their grandma better. We love and miss you Grandma Jan!

How fun to have Griff's mom there! You guys are so lucky to get so many visitors! We will have to do a San Fran day when we come. I love it there. Or we can just sit and relax at home too. I am just exciting to not be working!
Soph and Mia are like Dean and owen...they look nothing alike, but are ofcourse, both SO cute! Mom had a blast. You guys sure know how to live it up! I want to go to the Santa Cruz boardwalk some day...on a warm day, though!
Looks like a great trip...Mom was worn out so it must have been fun and busy. Chuck E. Cheese looks like the highlight! Tavie is jealous.
