Family Vacay

It was great getting back to California for a few days. We had a ton of fun hanging out and enjoying each other's company. I got to see grandparents, aunts and cousins I hadn't seen in far too long. I very much appreciated my family's spirit when picking me up at 11 p.m. They each wore OSU gear and had a welcome home sign that was spelled wrong in true Okie fashion. LOL.

I of course got to see the fair animals and wish them luck at the San Joaquin County Fair. This will be the fist fair I have missed in 13 years. I am a little sad about it to say the least. As always I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the pets and must say that Sweetpea has really let herself go....

We took a day trip to Monterey where we went to the aquarium. It was a very fun trip to say the least. In addition, we went to the Gilroy outlets. I am officially in LOVE. Got a few cute things including the trouser jeans I have searched years to find :)

We concluded the trip with a Giants game. It may have started out slow, with Giants down 4 to in the 8th. But once we left the game turned around. We won in the 13th inning, the inning I watched from my couch and hour and 15 minutes away from the Field. HAHA.

Overall, it was a wonderful trip. Wish Ryan had been able to, but we might have to have our own vacay later this summer.  I am taking suggestions. Finally, I just got to see my Seedstock Edge story in print, which is a cool feeling. In just over 3 weeks  I will get to move into my big girl apartment and take another family trip to Colorado. What a fun month it will be.

As always Stella is great, despite my departure. She is just happy mommy is home.
