Rendezvous in San Fransisco

Julyssa is in San Fransisco visiting some of her family for Thanksgiving and invited us out to spend a day with her and the kids. The girls and I drove out as soon as Grace was finished with school yesterday. We had so much fun taking our time, enjoying each other and the vibrant city. We watched the sea lions at the pier, a clown on the street that made each of the kids a balloon creature, and the artist bread makers at the Boudin sourdough bread factory work their magic (their hands really do seem to work like magic!) We stayed at the factory for dinner and enjoyed a variety of sourdough bread dishes, and then walked back over to Pier 39 to marvel at the enormous, lit Christmas tree. We finished up with ice cream and romp in the play area at a mall near her sister's home. The kids were enjoying their day of fun together and didn't want it to end. As Grace and Nyomi hugged each other good-bye Grace looked straight into her eyes and said, "I'll think about you everyday." So far Grace was telling the truth, because when she woke up this morning the first thing she said was, "Mom, can I call Nyomi?"

IT was so much fun. Thanks for making it out for our day of fun. Nyomi also wonders when she'll see her friends Grace and Eve. She wanted to go to your house the next day. We'll have to plan something. See you soon!
