Whew

We just returned from almost a month of traveling up the west coast -- starting in Los Angeles, spending Christmas in Thousand Oaks, New Year's in San Francisco, and then a couple weeks in Seattle and Victoria (on Vancouver Island, B.C.).

Here are some scenes from San Francisco: We stayed in North Beach with Anna, Bob and their daughters, Gigi and Islay.














Simone got to meet more of her parents' friends and "frolleagues" -- here she is with Jesse.
















And David.

















And here are a few more snapshots from Christmas -- with Simone's grandparents and Great-Grandpa Jack.
