Californ-i-a

May 11, 2011 by Lindsay

Spencer, Zachary and I spent last week in California. We attended the ASMC conference filled with all things Apple! Spencer spent most days in meetings and we joined him for meals, meetings when we could, and got really lucky when we found a Target IN a mall while on the hunt for some mylicon for Z-man!

It was a treat to only have one boy to take care of, I took my time getting ready in the mornings, read three books, took naps, sat in the sun….it was great!

Zachary was a great little traveler. He had some fussy days and was way off schedule with the time change, but overall he did great. Daddy even got him a book signed by the Woz! haha!

We stayed in San José but one afternoon Spencer had a meeting in Cupertino at Apple, or the “Mothership” as some called it!

After the meeting we headed to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate Bridge and eat dinner.

I kept comparing everything in San Francisco to Full House! I grew up watching that show, and so when I think of San Francisco, I think of Uncle Jesse and the Olsen twins! haha!

We ate dinner in downtown San Francisco and then drove around for a bit. It was crazy, people, cars, hills, buildings, street cars, I am definitely not cut out for the city life. I like to visit and then go home to my quiet little house!

(Sorry for the poor picture quality, it was late, cold and windy so we didn’t check to make sure they turned out ok!)

On our last day Spencer only had morning meetings and then we headed to Monterey Bay with the group and went to the aquarium and dinner.

This picture is for Spencer’s Grandma!

If you know me well then you have probably seen me stand like this, usually when I am leaning against the counter washing dishes, cutting up food or in the bathroom getting ready in the morning. My mom used to do it too, and I think my sister does as well. It’s comfortable for me and I do it without realizing it. I couldn’t resist when I saw this flamingo picture because that’s what it reminds me of! Haha!

Zachary all bundled up on our way to dinner!

One of the biggest hi-lights on the trip was all the wonderful food! All of our meals were provided by the conference and it was seriously the best food I have ever eaten! There was always fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, fish and more desserts than any one person needs Let’s just say that coming home and having to cook has been less than thrilling! I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures….try not to drool on your computer!

I was so thankful for a chance to get away, but as always it was wonderful to get home to our big boys!
