Memorial Day Continued

We went over to Alameda to check out the USS Hornet. It was actually pretty cool. Normally I am not thrilled about history things, (Tobi is) but this was really neat and the kids loved it.























Our last day with Grandma D we drove over to Halfmoon Bay. I had never been there, but have been wanting to go for sometime. The Fishers gave us there expert opinion about where to get some lunch. We picked up some sandwiches, and they were excellent. The downtown area looked really cute, but we were not there for shopping, so I need to go back there sometime to walk around. The beach was a little on the cold side, but not nearly as cold as I expected. I was prepared for a blizzard, which drove Tobi crazy as he was packing the car with my winter coat and Ugg boots. But I am always colder than everyone else, so I like to be prepared. Plus I had Bailey to think about right??? The kids had a great time playing in the water and sand with Grandma D. Let's just say Andrew and Josh are much more oblivious to the cold than I am.







It was such a fun weekend with Tobi's mom. We are so glad she could come visit. She is such a fun Grandma and will get right in with the kids, whatever they are doing, whether its looking for bugs in the dirt, or digging in the sand, or getting soaked at the beach!

Fun! Way to find some sweet Memorial activities. I am with you on the cold though. Happy to stand back and watch them get in the frigid water. Grandma D is a great Grandma.
