California

We flew straight from Washington D.C. to California for Ashley's (Jeff's sister) high school graduation. Jeff's cousin Allison was also graduating, so it was fun to be there to see both of them in their cap and gown. It was a really long flight but we are so glad that we were able to be there for the graduation. We were only in California from Wednesday to Monday, but we were able to do a lot of fun things. We went to the mall, attended the graduation, went out to dinner, went swimming, went to a San Francisco Giants game, went to Gilroy Gardens (a family amusement park), ate at Jeff's grandma and grandpa's house, and Jeff went golfing with Ash and Michael. We also were able to just hang out and Halle loved playing with her cousins. It was a great trip!



Halle at Gilroy Gardens. She LOVED this place. It was really fun for her. I wish there was something like this close to us.

Having fun with her cousins Scotty and Emily.

The fish ride. At first Halle wasn't sure about this ride. She looked pretty scared at first, but warmed up to it by the end.

Jeff and me at the Giants game. Gina was so sweet to watch Halle for us. I had never been to a Giants game before, so it was fun to experience one. I think it was a record for the fastest game, lasting only 2 hours.

Swimming in the spa.

Ash and Halle. She adores her aunt Ashley!

Emily and Halle with Ashley. This was the best picture I could get of the three of them.

Halle had a great time at the graduation. It was a big party! Congratulations Ashley and Allison!
