151 - Anniversary

Guess where we went for our 16 year Anniversary this last weekend? After Napa (which is beautiful) we went along Highway 1 (which is also beautiful) and through San Fransisco. What a great weekend.

135 - Surf

Just look at the surf here. Such a beautiful sight along highway 1 in California.

163 - Temperature

This is an "Old Faithful Geiser" in Calistoga, CA. With only 3 in the entire world I knew I wanted to see it. It shoots up about every 40 minutes, because it's predictable, that is was makes it an "Old Faithful". This one reaches a very hot temperature of 350 degrees and then blows water into the air to cool itself down. It only lasts for about 5 minutes.

185 - Traffic

Here is traffic located in downtown San Fransisco. As you can see the marine layer was moving in.

167 - Model

The original creator, created this model of his home town. Each house, building and fences were placed exactly where they were in the real home town. It took many years and lots of artists to create, but was finally finished before he died in the 80's. It's big and wonderful to look at. What a true model of one owns town.

157 - Carriage

Here is a great carriage found inside the museum.

94 - Post Box

Here is a wall of post office boxes.

126 - Tools

Look at all these different tools once used in kitchens. Depending on your age you might say you have used some. Me? Just seen most in museums.

165 - Quilt

This quilt is made of silk and hand done. Not something that is done much of anymore. It was located in a museum along our weekend trip.

312 - Graffiti

This is inside the World War II military bunker. So sad that someone has to do this to property that does not belong to them.

73 - History

This photo is of an old World War II military bunker. It was used to guard the San Fransisco Bay.

152 - Tattoo

I thought this was a neat tattoo as far as tattoo's go. As for myself, I'm not into tattoo's and even told my friend he was stupid for getting one. His is of a football team the "Vikings," how stupid is that... what if the team gets sold and moves?

247 - Tradition

It's officially a "Tradition" now. My oldest daughter had her 8th birthday and her first doll cake. My 3rd now that I have made. I had these cakes when I was a child and now all of my girls have had one also. Even the cake pan was passed on to me to use.

276 - Pride

I take great pride in my photos. I submitted 5 photos for the 1st time into a photo competition and won a total of 3 ribbons. Here are 3rd place and 4th place with the photos that should look familiar. They are "Time" and "Tall". I'm so proud of myself, received some money too. :)

150 - Photo

If you look along the right hand side you will see a photo of my photo that I submitted to the local fair competition. I won 4th place for my "Hat" photo.

158 - Fear

This is my oldest. At only 7 years old she is now old enough and tall enough to go on the big kid rides. If you look close, she is up far enough now that she is started to get scared and says "I Love You" in sign language with both of her hands.

7 - Smile

She was the only one small enough to go on this ride, she smiled the entire time.

225 - Fairground

This fairground was ALOT of fun!

230 - Transport

This train transported the kids and daddy in a "U" shape.

362 - Friendship

These 5 get along so well together.
