Late Vacation Pics

 

 

 

 

After we got to see Uncle Matt graduate we also took a trip to San Francisco. Although the highlight of the trip was Matt's big day and the trip to the animal hospital. Ethan is such a big animal lover, he really enjoyed seeing the hospital. Raquel and I would make horrible vets as we both saw a large rotweiller getting an ultrasound and we both thought it was a small grizzly bear! Uncle Matt seems so calm and happy in his new profession, we are so proud of him.
The kids enjoyed the Alcatraz tour, it still is so creepy to me but they thought it was super cool!

Capitol Building

 

 

 

 

Took a tour of the state capitol, really a very interesting building. We even saw where Schwartzenagger's (spelling! aggh!) office was. They said it takes about 2 or more hours to prepare for him to walk about 100 ft down the hall to the press area for all the security measures.

Sutter's Fort

 

 

Since fourth graders learn all about California history, we HAD to make a stop at Sutters's fort and learn all about the early gold mining days. Raquel and Ethan talked extensively about the Donner Party...for those of you that need an update on history, John Sutter sent help to bring them in after they got stuck in the snow for so long. Ethan had lots of questions about all this...fun!
