Our summer vacation

In June, Erin, Megan and I spent 10 days visiting with family and friends in Northern California and Las Vegas. We went shopping and site seeing in San Francisco and neighboring sites and cities like the Muir Woods with the giant sequioas and the quaint village of Sausalito. The giant redwoods are something to behold and Sausalito is a cute city with the perfect vantage view of the famous San Francisco skyline. We visited Peter Wainwright and his family in Davis, and Erin went on a campus tour of UC Davis. I liked Davis; it is one city that the giant store chains have not been able to infiltrate thus has been able to maintain that small city feel. It was great to see the Wainwrights again after 6 years. We also toured the campus of UC Berkeley and Erin and I just loved the campus. The programs were good as well but the cost of education is a little steep.
