Summer Lovin

Summer fun...not so much, work, work work.. the girls are with their dad's, so i use this time to catch up my piggy bank..

Tia got to come home for some of her Summer break, Quincy was workin out w/ a Team here in Cali, so we got to share T!! It was a nice time, dinners, out tings and Tia always there to entertain us.

A few friends came to visit, and i took a few trips out of town to take advantage of the," No kids, mommys playtime".

San Fran was WAY fun.. Tia and i took the drive up the coast, Let me tell you BEauty Galore! Imagine Golden fields with Forest Green Trees that have JetBlack Trunks....it was breath taking! THe drive was Easy... Listened to Books on tapes and played ISPY..Stoped at this cute winery on the way and rode some rides and toured the wine country.

Arrived to Greet Miss Kalei, home (FINALLY) from the summer spent with Daddy in N. Carolina..SHe had grown a foot and was as smiley as the day i said," see you soon love bug"..

Stayed with Jessica's Auntie& Uncle in Palo Atlo, right by Stanford. Beautiful neighborhood, very Standfordish. Jessica's MOm, Cuz'ns, and friends welcomed us as family and we received home cooked meals, a place to crash,and a "home" enviroment...My mom and i were talking about how great vaca's are when you are taken care of by family! Makes it 100'xs better.

The girls and i explored the city, The Bay, Museums, The Bridge, Fishermans Warf, Trolly Rides, Tennis courts. Taylor gave the girls some great lessons in Tennis, his last of the summer, and Tia's 1st, the girls loved it! We played Basketball and talked story for the 2 night we were there.

San Fran is my new FAV city. Beautiful! It surprised me how much it looked like how i imagine NYC would look, a HUGE city all crammed into a island! BIg and Beautiful, esp when your looking at it from a the AMAZING REd Bridge...if you've never been, put it on your TO-DO list!Thanks Tay&Jess for the good times!!

Drive home was a breeze, had my TWO love bugs home again, What mommy wouldn't be ESsssTAaa TIC???
