Father's Day 2010

We had a relaxing Father's Day this year. We had breakfast and then Sarah gave Jimmy his Father's Day gifts. We went to The Thomas' house for a cookout. We had a lot of fun there. It has been forever since we last seen them. It was good to catch up. Now we are home, and my little ones, Jimmy included, are snug as a bug in a rug. So, I am finishing up laundry at 10:30 pm so we can finish our packing to head to Vegas on Tuesday. We are really looking forward to a vacation. I hope everyone had a great Father's Day. Until next time, have a great day and enjoy the pics. Thank you for looking.

We made him work for it.

He was totally shocked.

You couldn't wipe the smile off.

Sarah is officially a school age girl!!!

Our little Princess graduated Preschool on Wednesday. It was such a proud moment. It was bittersweet to know that Sarah will move on to Kindergarten in just a few short months. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital, and now she is 5. We are so proud of her.

SeaWorld

We spent Saturday at Seaworld. It was so much fun. Sarah loves looking at all the animals. We started the day off with Jimmy, Sarah, Dominic, and Alyssa riding "Shipwreck Rapids." The funny thing was when we left @ 10 pm Jimmy was still wet. I don't think we will be doing that ride again when we first get there. We watched lots of shows and stayed for the fireworks after the last Shamu show. All in all, it was a great day spent with the Bernardo Family.

San Francisco Weekend

This weekend we took off for San Francisco. It was an awesome experience. I have wanted to go there since we were here in 1999. Finally, in 2010 I made it. I would love for Jimmy to retire and move there. I love all the culture and history the city offers. We took a 5 hour tour where the guide took us all around and gave us "inside info" on the stops. It was so good to get into the places that we would normally never make it. Then we went to see the sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge. That was truly the coolest thing ever. I met two professional photographers there. It stroked my ego a little when I looked at both of our pics and I couldn't tell them apart. I was taking the same photos they were. So, they talked to me for about 1/2 hour about how to take pics and photography things. Pretty cool to talk to someone who actually was complimenting my photos. Then we went to Twin Peaks to see the city from above. It was freezing up there. OK, actually it was 52, but to this Southern CA girl it might as well have been -20. We headed back on Monday evening. As the trip came to a close, I realize that I am a lucky girl to get the opportunity to see things most people in my family never will. I definitely will put this trip as #1 on the list for now. It was great to finally make it up North. I loved the experience.
