Trip to Bay Area

William loved the toys at Lynn and Gene's. He especially loved this little saxophone which he'd march around with and hum into.
William and Peter Covert. They got along great as long as William didn't have to share Pete's toys with Pete.
1219 Carmel Terrace. A lot smaller than I remember for some reason. Still looks great.
William and Dad at Heritage Oaks Park. Anyone remember the balance beam there?
We had a great trip to the Bay Area to attend Geoff Sonn's wedding. We saw cousins, stayed at Lynn and Gene's, we ate at Tadich Grill, Ghiradelli Square and Frankie Johnny and Luigi's, we stopped by the old home, Oak Elementary, Heritage Oaks Park and even drove by the infamous church where John, Rob and I each got strike six for riding our bikes across the lawn on the way to school one morning. That was probably the quickest and most anxiety filled day of school ever (including finals at BYU). I think we figured that if strike 3 was a spanking then a nuclear warhead was waiting at home when we returned. As I recall, nothing big happend although Rob and John may remember differently. We had a blast. The wedding was amazing. Geoff and his wife looked terrific. We hung out with Brandon Badgley and his wife Lisa and just had a memorable weekend all around.

Stike six may have made that the longest ride down portland road in the history of portland roads around the world.

Dad did not remember that strike 6 moment....lesson is that your children will vividly remember moments you will gladly forget! I loved hearing that memory. I thought the Carmel Terrace house looked very good. That really was a very good remodel...the colors are still the same as the ones we selected 20 years ago! Love the picture of William with the sax up to his mouth. I see (hear) music in that little boy's future! MOM
