Just got back from a week long visit with my sister-in-law Jackie and her husband Tony. Well technically we got back last night but after 15 hrs in the car I was too tired to blog! Four of us went, me, Carl, Carla and Barbara. Carla drove first as we used her vehicle for the trip.
We left at 3am last Thursday and drove straight thru to El Sobrante CA. (It's just outside of Oakland and a little north of San Franisco). We got there about 6-6:30-ish that night. Rested up a bit got changed and went to the memorial with Jackie, Tony and my father-in-law Carl Sr. He lives with Jackie and Tony now.
Saw one cool thing on the way down there-3 huge buzzards standing on the shoulder of an on ramp on the opposite side of the freeway with their backs to the sun and their wings spread wide! Don't know if they were sunning themselves or drying their wings, but it was awesome to see. Couldn't get a picture as we were driving about 70mph at the time...
The weather was cold and wet except for one day of sunshine, but even that day the temp was only about 62.
We were able to use the hot tub a couple of times, which was nice! I could definetly get used to that!
Jackie took us to a little bead shop that reminded me of the Black Market Beads we have up here. I bought myself a couple of bracelets and a pair of earrings for my daughter. We also went shopping at a mall on Tuesday where I picked up a couple of tee shirts for my son.
Unfortunately we didn't get to go to San Francisco but we had a really nice visit with the family. Sometimes it's nice to just sit around and catch up.
So I have today to rest up a bit do loads of laundry and then it's back to work tomorrow.
