What a Week!!

We have had quite the past week. On Wednesday we made a last minute trip to the San Francisco area for a funeral. It was the first really sad funeral I've ever been to, but it was great to see family. Jessica loved playing with her cousins.

On the way down, we stopped off in NV to stay the night with some relatives. It was SO fun! Thanks Jim, Shar, Emily, and Nick for not only giving us a place to sleep, but also a lot of excitement. We spent the night carving pumpkins and eating pumpkin pie.

Since we were in the area, we decided to spend the morning after the funeral in San Francisco. We didn't have much time, but we loved wandering around Fisherman's Warf/Pier 39. Jessica loved all the seals. It's hilarious to hear her imitate them. We had a lunch of clam chowder in a sour dough bread bowl - YUM!


Halloween was so much better than I ever could have expected. Jessica was born to trick-or-treat. She was a kitty this year.

Every time she was given candy she would gasp and giggle her little head off. It never got old for her, even as her bucket got so heavy that we thought she'd start complaining (she didn't). I think she made the day for a lot of people.


On the ride back home we were telling her about Christmas coming up. She told us that she wanted to be a spider for Christmas. I think dressing up for every holiday sounds like a great idea. :)

18 hours in the car later and we were back home. Whew! It was quite the weekend, but we're so glad we were able to go!

What a cute little kitty! I hope all went well and we're glad you were able to travel safely, and kudos for surviving 18 hours! Four hours down to Utah about kills ME!

Im glad you got passed the windy road :) We have made that trek to California many a times. My family is from Yuba City, which is 30 minutes north of sacramento.
