To Grandmothers house we go Part II

Thursday and Friday of our trip were spent with more family. Thursday morning we met my Aunt Alison for breakfast. She quickly scored points with Grace as she brought her two shinny silver purses with stickers and paper and markers inside. Grace loves shinny things, purses, and stickers so it was a big hit.

After seeing Alison, we went down town San Luis Obispo and walked around looking for Chinese food to take up to my Grandma for lunch. We ended up finding Chinese food and in the process, we also found the world famous bubble gum alley. I happen to have been chewing gum at the time so I added a piece to the wall. Seeing as my mother always told me not to stick gum on the wall, I felt like quite the rebel.

We headed up to Grandma's for lunch. We spent hanging out with Grandma and taking Grace out to see the animals.

Our attempt at a self portrait didn't work out so well. This is the best one, Grandmas dog Dot decided to sit there with us. I was trying to get the cows in the background, but yeah, that didn't work out so well.

Friday morning we packed our car to head home. Before we left, Grace was able to pick a strawberry off the plants in my Aunt Jan's yard. She loved it and keep asking for "more strawberries".

My aunt Jan lives blocks from where my dad grew up. My grandma had given me directions the night before so we drove around and found his childhood home. I know he had driven me by there before, but I really didn't remember where it was.

After seeing my dad's childhood home, we headed over to my mom's childhood home.

My Aunt Marcy lives behind the house in a new house she built. We met up with my cousin at her house. We were early, so we were able to spend some time with my aunts cat Lumpy. Grace loved him and continues to ask me where "flumpy" is.

Grace enjoyed reading with Natalie and Marcy

Finally we headed home. Grace was really good in the car. She played with her stickers from Aunt Alison and then took a nice long nap. I on the other hand got a little bored. :)
