Artist Point

The first weekend of 2014 was sunny! Thus, we put on our PNW hats and ventured off to Mt. Baker to stomp around Artist Point.

Bay Area Christmas!!!

My sister declared that her and family couldn't make it to both Dallas and Palo Alto for Christmas. Thus, all families converged in sunny California.

Day 1: We spent Christmas as the Fajardo's. Presenting the talkative and easily distracted nephew:


Day 2: We drove into San Francisco to explore. It was sunny and 70-deg F.


Just outside of Chinatown.


Get that shot! (on Telegraph Hill)

Day 4: Spent in Palo Alto, exploring the university area.
Day 5: Watched the Cowboys not come through as usual...
Day 6: SFO had an exhibit on Japanese toys. I liked the posters.
