Moving Day for Jessica & Emily

Jess & Emily all ready to make their trip to San Diego and school!!! We sure miss them here, but are glad that they will have so much fun in SD. Eric summed it up last night when he said that it was sure quiet around here without the girls!!!!

Creative picture of Jessica taken by Emily. Emily wanted to get a picture of Jessica's ceiling before they moved out and Emily loved the way that Jessica looks like Ursula in this picture. ha, ha, ha!!!!

Dad's favorite pose with his girls!
The Girls
Eric with the girls
Jessica is either not happy about leaving or doesn't want to get "last tag"!!!

Emily before she takes off.

"Weird California"

This day was inspired by the book that Steve gave Jessica for Christmas this past year. We had fun going to see a couple of the "weird" sights that were listed in the book.

Jessica & Eric by the Sutros Baths.

Overlooking the Sutros Baths

In a cool tunnel

After Jessica had dropped Em's sandal in the muck.

The "Seal" that Jessica spotted.

Eric loves ice plant. Anytime that he sees it, he has to jump on it. He has done it in Monterey while riding his bike and here he has found some and of course has to jump on it!!??!!!!

Emily and Jessica in front of their respective San Fransisco houses.

The Seagull that became friends with Eric because he was feeding him grapes. Then he turned on us and stole our whole bag of sandwiches. Luckily, we had already eaten all that we wanted!!!

Jess enjoying the wave organ!

The "Alcatraz Swimmers" reliving the fun memories!!!

If you look very closely for the two little pink spots in the picture, you can spot the two "nudies" on the beach. We thought it was kind of funny and we thought of our New Year's Eve fun also!

The Family with San Francisco in the background.

Again Eric enjoying the ice plant.


More fun with the family (This is almost a rear shot??!!???)
We had stopped at a motel to find out about a ghost tour and then Emily asked them about seeing a sign posted for a certain lady and the person said that he didn't know about that, but that there was a sign across the street that might be the one. When Emily went to check, it was not the one that she was looking for, but instead was this plaque that states that this was the house where President Wilford Woodruff died. How "weird" is that!!!!!

A cool building at Howard & 6th street with all of the furniture looking like it is being thrown out of the windows. "Weird"!!!!
Our last stop was at Hunter's Point where we were trying to find an abandoned neighborhood. In the book it said to be aware of shootings and so it was kind of an adventure. We thought that this might be part of the neighborhood, but then realized later that it might have been torn down. All in all, it was a fantastic day!!!!

My New Friend

Well, before madness and craziness this Thursday, I sold my guitar on eBay and cashed out for probably more than I originally paid for it. I took my new little dollar bills and went to guitar center.



I bought meself a Mitchell Acoustic-Electric guitar. For the 200 bucks I paid for it, this is a sweet little thing. I read a lot of reviews, and it's supposedly excellent for the price. I think it sounds great.

Apparently, Mitchell is a Guitar Center brand, recently started by the co-owner of Guitar Center. I was laughing with the guy at GC, telling him that, in fact, this was basically the Guitar Center's Kirkland brand.

So, I bought meself a book and have been practicing fingerpicking and having a blast.

That's all. Nothing that exciting, except for myself...

I love you all!
