Lombard Street

This post was actually supposed to come after "Where There's a Will..." but at this point, just getting new posts up is a small miracle, I'm not going to get nit-picky. Perfectionism is becoming an easy obsession to break out of! Part of Erin's plan when we visited Alcatraz was to see the famous Lombard Street. I have to thank you Erin, without your determination I will admit we would have left San Fran without having seen this spectacular view and quircky little road! The first picture is a view of Alcatraz just before we took a right onto Lombard. You kind of inch down because people are stopping along the way to take pictures, getting in and out of vehicles and diligently trying to keep their bumpers from scraping the low wall along the roadside. It was picturesque and just one more thing we can say we did!




Where There's a Will, There's a Way!

And if anyone's gonna make it happen, it's Erin! The whole family trekked across country and spent just under a week with us. We hiked, visited the aquarium, scouted the beach, toured Alcatraz and still there was more left unseen by the time they had to leave. Thank you guys for traveling so far- we love you!






San Juan Bautista

Back in August, Kevin's class visited San Juan Bautista, I'm hoping to go as a family in the near future. He raved about the spot they stopped at for lunch (Jardines) and the tiny little town surrounding the mission is full of antiques, stained glass, and as indicated below, wildlife!
