John & Cassie are on the "Cool List"

Last Tuesday at 5:30am John called and woke me up, saying he was at our front door.  They drove all night.

(Rachel writing now, Brett got burned out with the first sentence. What can he say? Blogging is hard).

It's true, John  and Cassie came early Tuesday morning and much to Marie's chagrin they left on Saturday. But fun times were had. We did an A's game. Brett could probably tell you if we won or lost, but I just have to say that Marie did really great. Of course you know a Mom is blogging when they rate every event by how their toddler behaves. Anywhosers, that game was grand. John and Cassie were easy to please. The only requirements for entertainment was a cheap A's game and a visit to the Full House house.
Here is where the "Tanner Family" had a pinic in the opening credits of Full House. This row of houses is referred to as "The Painted Ladies" and provides one of the best views of the city. What am I, a tour guide? Yes.

 

This is the official house. You may notice it does not have the original door.

 

We headed to see Fisherman's Warf later. It was weird for me because I never really know if it's the last time I'll go there. Probably not. Here is John juggling knives. He was victim to a creepy magicians cheap antics. But John was a good sport and played along.

 

Back in Vacaville we played at Maries favorite park.

She seems to get along with older kids mostly.

Other than that we played a few rounds of Ticket to Ride, a game loved by all. We ate lots of good food. And Cassie and I went to Costco, which is always fun for me. John and Cassie are gone now though, soaking up the sun in Mexico on their cruise. I've never done the cruise thing, but I hear they are all that and a bag of chips. Or at least all the chips you can eat. I think we'll go on one in a few years. Actually I've been saying that for the last decade. We'll see if it happens. Any takers if we go?
