California

What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
(California, Metro Station)

Pam and I decided to drive to San Fran for Scotty's wedding reception. We met Scotty in 2005, became instantly friends and have been for the past 5 years. Pam is heading to PA for a few months and then onto her next adventures in life, so a ROADTRIP was a necessity before we split. We stayed with Pam's grandparents in San Fran and they were SOO wonderful to us. I enjoyed getting to know them better and we had such an awesome time with them! 

We got to Danville Friday morning around 7am. We slept for a few hours and then chatted with Grandma. Eventually we had some lunch and then hit the pool for a bit. Later that night we went over to Walnut Creek and did some shopping at the stores and then hit up dinner. We went to a place called Tomatina! They make these delicious salads on flatbread. Here's a picture with Pam and our food! SOOOOO GOOD!
After dinner we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's. We decided to play a quick game of UNO. Well our first two games were really speedy (of course Pam won both times....is that a question?) So we decided to play another quick hand....our quick game turned into an HOUR of UNO. An HOUR!!!! At least Grandma won that time. :)
Oh and here's a picture of Grandma opening up her surprise gift from Grandpa. Too funny...

Pam and I

Saturday we woke up early and went to the Redwoods. 
We took a nice stroll through the park...

The trees were HUGE!

So for some strange reason, I don't have any pictures of us with the Bride and Groom or with any of our other friends who were there.... very sad!

We enjoyed our road trip and our time in Cali. It was a beautiful weekend and we had TONS of fun! Thanks Pam for coming with me! And Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
