Summer, Summer, Summertime!


Summer has been filled with all sorts of adventures for Virginia in between our many travels.  Here are a few photos of the highlights!

Virginia attended a number of birthdays, including one for her buds the Kassabian twins:



She posed for patriotic pictures in our front yard:


She showed off her wacky bathtub skills:


She swam, and swam, and swam (and had a blast with PopPop):


She wore animal print to visit the USS Hornet Museum - stylish!:


She and Thomas camped out in the back yard in a tent for an overnight adventure:


She visited the Pacific Pinball Museum to play classic pinball games:



She hugged on many babies (Sam, aka The Bug, Click):


She set out on adventures at Gilroy Gardens with best bud Tasha:

Santa Cruz You're Not That Far


We got the wandering spirit yet again and decided one lazy weekend day to set out for Santa Cruz, just about an hour and a half from our home in Alameda.  Santa Cruz has a famous historic boardwalk with rides, food, and a gorgeous beach, so we knew it would be a hit with Virginia.  Virginia rode some pretty daring rides and played in the shallow water.
