Blackberries ( Eureka)
Dad's grave (Chico)
Grandpa (Fairfield)
Friend (Fairfield)
Us ( Shasta Dam Redding)
Our trip started out here and San Diego in September and took us on a whirl wind tour of California. We started out driving up to San Jose to visit a couple of friends for a night. After that we took a trip through San Francisco to see the Golden Gate Bridge. While being stuck in traffic for a couple hours downtown we could see the fog rolling in. By the time we got to the bridge it was so foggy that we could not see anything. So we continued up the coast to Evelyn's house for about a week. We did some fun things while there such as fishing, swimming, and Comz got her first taste of picking fresh blackberries. She enjoyed running around picking them fresh off the plants. So it was on to Redding to visit with her aunt Carmen for a couple of days. The first night was spent at the local high school watching Carmen's daughter playing volleyball. While we were there we went to Shasta Dam. It was such a nice day there and we could see the whole area. It was so beautiful there. It was on to Chico for a brief but especially important stop to the Chico Cemetery to visit my father’s final resting place. It had been so many years since anyone had been there. It felt good to be there and show our respects to him. Finally we were on to Fairfield to visit my grandfather and her friend Maribel. It was great to drop in and see how well my grandpa was doing. He was happy to see his great granddaughter and Comz. He told us it was nice to see them but not me. Ha ha ha, what a joker. He is in great spirits for a man well into his 90s. We stayed the night at Maribel's house and went to a great steakhouse for dinner where they got up and enjoyed a line dance with our hosts. Then the next morning it was off to home. this was a great trip and some good memories came out of it. This was the first of many trips that baby Angel and Comz will be going on for our time here.
Let me know if I forgot anything. I love you both. Mwah...
