California in a nutshell

We sure did pack in a lot in our 3 wks visiting California.  I've got a lot of projects on my hands right now including of course paying attention to my oh so squeezable love.  I had been meaning to get the software dear blogger Ginnie has been using for a few years because like her, I love taking too many photos and just can't decide on a few to post.

Here's the first part of our California Trip in a nutshell, mostly by photos.

The beautiful sunsets of Northern California seen from my parents back yard.




Cammie enjoying the summer weather in the bay area.

Some of our visitors at our huge bbq party.  It was so much fun!  I even got to meet fellow expat and blogger Debbie as well as seeing many of my old teammates from my swimming years.  Now most of them have kids too.

Cammie, Grandma and mom off on some adventures.  She just loves to go.

Having fun with Grandpa and Grandma.

Visiting Santana Row


Ah I just loved taking shots of Santana Row.  It was so much fun to just window shop and feel like we were in a different world.  This place has changed so much since about 15 years ago.  It's a whole new place!

Starting our Journey down South with just Cammie, mommy and Grandma in the car.

**Since you guys are curious, the software is called PicNik and it's web based but loving it already.

  6. Good for you, Jen, using the collages to good advantage! I don't know what I'd do without them, seriously. And there's so much you can do with all the sliders and the border colors. You'll be addicted forever! I've been giving Picnik more ideas for how to improve their package. We'll see if they listen.

    In the meantime, your Cammie is just priceless. I love seeing some of what your trip was all about.

    Cammie looks like she had travelled all her life.
    She is adorable.
