Well, it’s time to rewind the clock….my mother (Ryan speaking) and younger brother came down for Thanksgiving to visit. It was great to finally have Dustin here so that he could see where we lived. They got in late Monday night and stayed through Friday afternoon. Tuesday we hung out most of the day, but did plan a shopping trip so that Grandma Peggy could get Reggie a birthday present. Ainsley was able to jump on that bandwagon and scored some new sparkly shoes from Grandma. That night we went to my mom’s favorite restaurant “Sweet Tomatoes.” Dustin almost put the place out of business as he ate and ate. We enjoyed the all you can eat soup/salad and bread and topped it off with ice cream. Thanksgiving approached quickly and Mom put in a turkey with all of the fixins. We enjoyed a wonderful meal and then made our way to the Bliss’s place to hang out with them that evening.
During their stay we organized a trip down into the city of San Francisco. We planned an Alcatraz tour and wow, the weather cooperated. We bundled up thinking that we were going to freeze and once we got down to the city we started to peel off the clothing. It was 70 degrees and beautiful (Nov 25th are you kidding me!!). We really enjoyed the tour and learning a little history. By the time we left, I think Dustin could have been a tour guide! It was lunch time and we lucked out having a Taco Del Mar right down the street from the pier. I hadn’t had Taco Del Mar in months, so it was on. We grabbed a bite to eat and headed back home to pick up the kids (thanks to the bliss family + Grandma Kate for watching the kids!). 
Friday morning, we celebrated Reggie’s birthday at the bowling alley (of course, we forgot the camera!). If you ever want the bowling alley to yourself, go the day after Thanksgiving. It was great. My mom felt really old, but she got into a groove toward the end. The bumpers saved the kids and Dustin!
