Family, food, fun, and fireworks!

We had a Forth of July staycation this year!  Rick's brother and his daughter came to town to visit.  It has been a long time since we have had the time to enjoy this beautiful place we live!  But this last weekend, we took full advantage of some free time and hit the town!

We have never walked the Golden Gate Bridge.  And, I still haven't!  But I dropped the gang off at one end and drove to the other and waited!




They made it across and were glad that now they can say they have walked the bridge.

After the bridge experience we went to Fisherman's Warf and Pier 39.  
Emi got to experience In and Out for the first time.  


Emi really wanted to go to the Zoo.  It was a perfect activity since we hadn't been to the Zoo 
since we moved from Seattle.  



This picture is just to prove I was actually a part of the weekend!


What would the 4th be without Baseball?  Well, we compromised since it is virtually impossible to get tickets to the Giants' games these day!  The A's were playing the Mariners.  It was a fun time and we had plenty of seats to ourselves!





The boys put on quite the show between inning!

I failed to mention that it was HOT!!!  So there was plenty of swimming and water 
basketball in between activities!




It was a wonderful weekend!!!
