Wow! What a busy weekend, last night we drove from Brittney’s graduation back to Vancouver, Washington. That was not fun at all, we drove across U.S. Route 12 in the middle of the night, we were both tired and there was a ton of wild animals running across the road. It took us 6 hours to get back since we had to drive rather slow most of the time to avoid hitting any of the wildlife.
Today was fun though! Two family reunions in a row. This time it was Julie’s sister, Kristi’s, birthday party and a time to meet Alex. People came from all over the country for this event as well. We went to Lewisville Park, it was beautiful, right on the river. We had tons of fun!
Happy Birthday! Our baby was born on Monday April 14th at 3:54 PM. It weighed in at 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 inches in length. His name is Alexander.
Julie is doing great. She and Alexander have to stay in the hospital until tomorrow afternoon. Visitors are welcome to come and see Julie, visiting hours are 11 AM – 9 PM.
It’s Julies birthday! Happy birthday Julie! I had a special birthday trip planned for Julie but it was super secret! I didn’t tell her where we were going, only that I had plans and that she needed to pack some clothes. This afternoon when we were leaving on our “trip”, which Julie thought was a road trip, I headed to the Bart station and we took Bart into the city. Surprise! We’re at the Fairmont in San Francisco! We’ll be in San Francisco until Saturday.
Before we went to the castle we took a trip to Morro Bay where we walked around downtown and check out the shops. Then we headed to San Luis Obispo to hang out and to have lunch, we went to this place called Bel Frites – they only served ”Belgian” fries with gourmet dipping sauces. Since we were having a late lunch it was great that it wasn’t too big of a meal. Before we went on our tour we had dinner at El Chorlito, it was excellent.
We took the evening tour at the Hearst Castle which was cool since there are people dressed in period clothing wandering around inside and around the castle. Since it was dark out and they keep the lights very dim in the castle to preserve everything inside our pictures didn’t come out very good, but we had a lot of fun checking everything out.
We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium today on our way to Cambria. We ate at the resturaunt inside to aquarium which was great. We spent over 3 hours wandering around checking everything out, it was really cool. Tomorrow we’re going to go on a tour of the Hearst Castle.
