Vacation..California...

We left on July 26th at 5am to drive with to California to visit Darren's family. He is from Hayward and his parents and sister still live there. The drive down was much better than anticipated, we had a lot of fun, we went to San Francisco for a day, to a baseball game, to a theme park, went bowling and got to visit with a couple of Darren's old high school friends in addition to lots of other fun stuff. Darren and I even snuck out to have a few cocktails with friends the night before we left! The ride home wasn't as enjoyable the kids were exhausted and there was lots of complaining and tears, but we made it!
