Our California Weekend!

This last weekend we flew to California and spent 4 days in the Bay Area.  I grew up in Antioch so I wanted my husband to see where I grew up and of course I wanted to show off my new baby to everyone. My sisters still live near there so we stayed with them.  It was fun to have Memphis hang out with his aunts and my parents and brother came from Washington so Memphis got to spend time with his uncle and grandma and grandpa too.  It was my dad's 50th birthday on Saturday so we had a big party in Antioch with all our friends.  It was so fun to see everyone and of course my dad got lots of gag gifts.   I miss Antioch and everyone there but I am glad to be back.


Memphis loves riding on his daddy's shoulders.  This was at the airport.  The flight to Californis was nice because it wasn't full so they let us put Memphis in his car seat in the seat next to us and he slept the whole way.  The flight back to Utah was full so he had to sit on my lap and he didn't get very much sleep the whole weekend with so much going on so he was too exhausted to sleep and he just cried.

Well I wanted Danny to at least go see San Francisco but no one in my family wanted to take him because we have gone so many times.  My sister's boyfriend Fausto and Danny both love fishing so they went to the San Francisco Bay to fish for leopard shark and bat rays.  It was really foggy and cold and they only ended up catching a crab off the shore.




We went to Dave and Buster's in San Jose at the Great Mall with my family (if you don't know what that is I have heard it called an adult version of Chuck E. Cheese's)  and played arcade games.  We won over 5,000 tickets so we all got a prize.  It was a fun weekend!!!
