This vacation brought to us in part by saved Anniversary money from our parents. Thank You Moms and Dads!
Thursday: Met Visalia in Oakland & had the most delicious grilled fish in a West African restaurant with her. Met and became quickly enchanted with her cat, King Something-or-other (sorry kitty) & got from Visalia homemade bath salts to take back with us :) . Next stop Menlo Park to visit with Grandma and Grandpa, who took us to a wonderful Jamaican restaurant for a dinner including jerk ox tail (go Grandpa!), salmon & chicken wings & patties, yum yum yum. Back to Grandfolks house to visit and spend the night. A certain kitty invited himself into bed with us, head on pillow, rest under covers. Thanks but no thanks, Pie. Picked up some toys from Chris & Ethan (thank you Chris and Ethan!) including a very cool wooden barn.
After leaving town realized we forgot to get pictures of the Grandfolks and of Visalia!!! Phooey!
