The San Francisco Treat

Last week, we took advantage of a business trip to San Francisco to pack up the family for a short mini-vacation.  While Mike was in meetings for a conference, Steph and the girls toured the great town of San Francisco with rides on the cable cars, a stroll on fisherman's wharf, a visit to the wax museum, etc.  They had 1 1/2 days to wander the town and see the sights.  Luckily the weather held out...it was actually nicer in Seattle the few days we were there.

After the conference was over, we all packed up and headed down to San Jose to visit The Perrys.  It just so happened to be Haas' 3rd birthday party, so we couldnt resist the opportunity to stop in and celebrate.  Stacey and Ryan threw a great "Garbage" themed party for about a dozen other kids... garbage was littered in the backyard, kids picked it all up (ok, most if it) there was a garbage truck cake and garbage bag races.  One of the highlights for Maddie was that she was able to read the stinky story to all the kids...she did an awesome job, and many of the parents were wondering if she could do story time next weekend too!  We had an awesome time (like always) and cant wait for the next time we can get together.
