Fourth of July Weekend 2014

Our Fourth of July weekend started off with a fun morning at the Alameda County Fair with Grandma, Uncle Brad, Papa Goofy, and Grandma Ellie. We visited animals, played in corn, had corn dogs and ice cream cones, and watched Ella sing and dance alongside a performance by the Senior Choir. It was such a happy day!

That afternoon, Chris, Ella and I took a quick flight down to San Diego for the long weekend. We had a great time visiting his parents, brother, and grandma. As always, we shared lots of nice time around the house/backyard, good food and conversation, and a few little adventures. This time we went to the San Diego Zoo, La Jolla Shores Beach, Jeff and Erin's new place, and Cardiff for a quick visit with Kristen and family. We are so glad that we got one last trip to San Diego in before settling into baby time in the Bay Area.
