Blogging about a whole super fun week of vacation is such a huge task. So to make it easy on myself I'm going to do it in bits, all out of order, and mostly based on pictures.
The quick overview is we went to Northern California for Spring break and had a super fun week with my Dad and his wife Tina seeing the sights and having lots of adventures.
Here are a few pictures from China Town in San Fransisco.

Anya and I at the entrance to China Town.
The Boys at the entrance to China Town.You can't tell from the pictures, but it was pretty crowded and busy even though we were here on a Tuesday and there were almost no tourists around. We're not fond of crowds or tourists, even when we are the ones "touring".
We saw these huge bronze giraffe statues and had to take a picture by them for the Aunt Stephie and Aunt Lindsey because they both collect giraffes.
Anya liked these monkeys on a bench and wanted to sit by them and be a monkey too.
Talmage thought he could do a better monkey face.Other highlights from China town were going to the fortune cookie factory and watching the ladies hand fold the cookies. They are super quick at it. We also tried a few different flavors of flat fortune cookies like chocolate and strawberry. I like original best. The kids loved seeing the whole roasted ducks and chickens hanging (and dripping) in the window of some restaurants. But Anya probably wont be asking me to cook a chicken with the beak on anytime soon. It was probably funnier in her mind but seeing it for real was kinda creepy. It's funny how kids like to be creeped out. We also enjoyed Grandpa parallel parking an extended cab, dually truck perfectly on the first try-- a sight to behold. I obviously didn't get the parallel parking gene, or even the backing up safely one.
