Carlsbad 2013

My aunt and uncle, Lori and Keith have a condo on the beach in Carlsbad CA that they live in during the summers. It is always a treat when we get to go stay with them for a few days every year. 

Unfortunately, Broc had to work and wasn't able to come along but Norah and I joined my family and made a quick trip down for the weekend.

And I am thinking about entering Norah in a swim suit competition. 

I mean look at those gorgeous thighs.

Mmmm.

The beach made this one smile. 

And I am pretty sure the beach smiled looking at her. 

And yes, that is my 79 year old grandpa riding a bike like Armstrong. 

He's got awesome pumping through his veins. 

lucky for us, there was a pro surf competition going on while we were there. 

While we were there, my parent's celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary. 

Sure glad they are still "going steady".

Love them.

I left my heart in San Fransisco

 Last weekend Broc and I had the amazing opportunity to go visit the my dad's younger sister Lisa and her family in the bay area. 

Lisa and Jason live in the GORGEOUS city of Palo Alto. I have never been so in love with a neighborhood than the one they live in. The houses are to die for and the oak trees that line the streets while their branches high five each other over the road makes it beyond dreamy. One of my favorite parts of the trip was going for a morning walk in the gorgeous 80 degree weather. Not to mention that they live a couple blocks away from Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Young. 

In fact, Steve Young taught sunday school when we went to church with them. 

The first day was spent in Palo Alto touring Stanford with Aunt Lisa, going to lunch with Uncle Jason, Mini Golfing with the Peery clan and dinner in downtown Palo Alto.

The next day Jason and Lisa let us take their car into San Fransisco.

We fell in love with this city... everything about it.

We were even able to meet up with Broc's mission buddy Clayton and his wife Melanie.

We could not have had a more fun weekend/mini vacation.

And we owe it all to this wonderful family. 

Thank you Jason, Lisa, Scotty, Allie, Matthew, Tyler, Sadie, and Brady!

We love you!
