Hard to believe this week only had seven days in it...feels like so long ago since last Sunday. It was filled with lots of goodness, including a "business" trip to San Francisco. I took the redeye and was home by 9 am this morning. SO happy to see my family again!
I had to fly to CA to make it happen, but I had seven straight days of crazy, amazing weather. Everyone from San Francisco kept reminding us how extremely rare the sunny, clear 75-80 degree weather was....I didn't take a minute for granted.
October 9
We took advantage of an incredibly beautiful day (perfect?) and watched Shaun play football. Then we did a cousin exchange, the girls went to sleepover with Lainie and Katie (5 and 3.5) and Trey (2) came to our house to be with Aiden.
All I know is we got the good end of that deal. I LOVE my girls and my nieces, but boys are SO much easier. Even though they are only two, the boys really seemed to enjoy each other and understand they were doing something special. Wish I'd gotten a picture or some of their conversations on video. Precious!
Per tradition, we met up with cousins and Grandma for a morning at Buell's orchard. So fun!
Fun in the parking lot waiting for dance class to start. Amanda rode her bike and these two played. Trying to get used to our Tuesdays on the road.
I left our house at noon to begin the journey to California. This was my third year going to this conference for work and its something I've come to look forward to. I was delighted to discover that the way the flight worked, we were flying into the sunset for nearly an hour. What a treat! California from the sky at 7:30.

The day started bright and early with meetings and presentations and lasted nearly ten hours.
After, we went up to the 32nd floor for a supplier fair and cocktail hour....and an amazing view. I couldn't help myself...I had to go get my camera!

Another full day, this one was all for play though. We saw the Golden Gate Bridge, walked through Muir Woods and had lunch on the water...literally. Oh my!
We didn't fly out until 10 pm, so that left us the day to explore San Francisco. We walked down to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39, saw Chinatown and Little Italy among other things.
I'm linking up with Sara again this week. Hope you have a great week!
