-The City
-Alamo Park (Park from Full House)
And many other things!
I'm going to break up the posts about the trip into segments because if I were to put everything into one it would just be an insanely long post and I don't want to bore anyone that much. Plus, I'm pretty tired from flying home today, so I'll just discuss the 1st couple days.
Our plane rides went smoothly and we had beautiful scenary to look at while flying. JD took this shot on the way to Cali. He had to lean over a sleeping man to get it, but it was so pretty he had to do it.
We arrived in San Jose last Tuesday, March 9th. And we were delighted to have James and Aunt Jill pick us up at the airport. We were so excited to be out there and see everyone. It was also a perfect day to fly in because it was JD's cousin Cole's 10th Birthday!
They took us to Hotel Johnson as we affectionately call it. And we were able to change and relax for about an hour or so before Cole and Aidan came home from school. Here is a picture of the view from their driveway:
Then Aunt Jill took us to her shop that she works out of for her photography. It is a vintage boutique.. and. I. LOVED. IT. Vintage clothing galore. Not to mention shoes and jewelry and love love love.
There was one dress that was adorable. Blue and strapless from the 50's. But alas, I am not a size 0. And I have boobs. So.. it was a no go. And a devastating 5 minutes after that.
Downtown where her shop is, there was also a car dealership where JD had to stop and take a few pictures. Personally, I wouldn't choose yellow for a sportscar if I had to pick. But he was in love with this one:
After that, we went to pick up Cole's Birthday ice cream cake and went home to have dinner. Cole chose shrimp cocktail and chicken pot pie (boy after my own heart) for his birthday dinner. And it was a great night just to relax and spend some time with family.
I think I went to bed around 8pm that night. It was past my bedtime in Michigan! And I woke up around 6am the next morning. After we were up and moving, we went to go get mani/pedis! It was a first for JD... And he liked it. I think I'll be able to convince him to go with me in the future =)
JD mid pedi:
My toes after. Yes, I know I have small, short toes. I can't do anything about it!
Ok, that's enough update for now. I'm so sleepy. I'll try again tomorrow.
G'night all.
