Summer 2015 Wrap-up

As summer winds down, we thought we'd share a few photos of some summer highlights including a video of Max riding his two-wheeler without training wheels.

Becky's 20th Reunion Trip

I (Becky) celebrated my 20th high school reunion with friends in San Francisco and Napa Valley. Our first evening we spent exploring Chinatown and the waterfront. We got our first glimpse of Alcatraz on an eerie, foggy evening. Of course, we also rode on a trolley car. We spent one day touring vineyards in Napa Valley and rode a ferry back into the city. Another day we toured the city on a double-decker bus. We saw all the sights and made stops at Lombard Street (the crazy crooked one), Ghirardelli Square, and the Golden Gate bridge. We got off the bus and walked across the Golden Gate bridge on a beautifully clear day. Our last night we went out and celebrated like rock stars. It was an awesome trip with some of my dearest and oldest friends.
