Chucky Cheese

The kids had a great time at Jennifer's, of course. We took our kids along with Dominique, who slept with Taesi while we were gone and Brandon to Chucky Cheese. We had pizza and played for awhile. We went school shopping the next day and then headed home. Tired but happy to be in our own beds.

Camping

Our last night. We found a great site by a river in Oregon, I think? We had a wonderful time. Can't wait for next years trip.

Up the coast

We Spent the next few days working our way up the coast and eventually went across Washington and then back to Utah to pick up the kids. The coast beautiful, it wasn't at all what I had expected. We camped most nights, not to sure about the humidity everything was wet when we woke up each morning.

We stopped at the Tillamook cheese factory one morning and stocked up on some treats for the rest of the way home. That night we made it to east of Seatle to stay with my uncle and his family. I haven't seen them for a while it was great to be with them. All of their kids and their families came over for dinner. It reminded me of when they lived in St George and i used to fo and stay with them. It was definitely a highlight for me.

San Fransisco

Jared's Uncle and Aunt who live in modesto, CA came our to San Fransisco and took us on a tour. We had a great time!! They took us all over the city and all a round it. The water was freezing!!!!!

Jared and his Uncle and Aunt.

This is look down at the golden gate bridge. We watch the fog roll in, something we don't see in Panguitch.

This is lombaro street? The crookedest street in America. The streets of San Fransisco are just fun. Jared was thankful we weren't on the bike!!!!!!

Gorilla BBQ

Have you ever watched Dines,Drive-ins and dives? This is one of those places, it was great!!! The meat and sauce was amazing, and the owner was a crack-up. We actually planned our day around eating here and it was worth it.

He actually has BBQ tatooed on his nuckles.

Santa Cruz

We stayed in Sanfrancisco for three nights the first morning we found a great scenic highway and made our way to Santa Cruz. It was a beautiful ride. The beach wasn't so bad either.

This is looking off the pier back at the beach.

On our way back to San Fransisco we saw this, there were tons of them. Parasurfing I think.

Motorcycle Trip 2009

The day is finally here!! We left the kids in Salt Lake with Jennifer and we were off for 8 days of motorcycle riding. We went through Nevada and stayed at Lake Tahoe. It was Gorgeous, I am not sure if I have seen more beautiful scenery!! After Lake Tahoe we headed for California.
