San Jose

The weekend before Halloween we flew down to San Jose to celebrate Grans' 70th birthday. As the avid follower of this blog knows every time I go to the Bay Area there is an unusual rain hitting the area. It was no different this time around. We had this typical sprinkly rain that we are so familiar with here in Seattle for 3 days in San Jose. The kids were wondering why the Californians were all dresses in complete rain gear with strollers shrink wrapped when we were barely putting on sweaters. I guess rain is a matter of perception.
We had fun hanging out with family for a whole weekend and calling it Grans' birthday week. One day Pam, Sam, the girls and I went to the Rosicrucian Museum. The kids were quite interested, but Amelia lost it when she discovered the first mummy. She did not like that and wanted to leave. Outside on the Museum grounds they played the ancient game of Seth.
Happy Birthday Grans!
