Home
We are home. I have been putting off posting it all day. I am in denial. Do you think there is some type of counseling I could take? "Vacation is over denial 101"
ARRGG!!!!!! Saturday Pirate Party
The Annual Anchor Bay Party was this last Saturday. This years theme was Pirates! Before I forget to mention it, the decorations were phenomenal! Part of the stipulation to go, was that you dress up according to the theme. Everyone agreed that this was by far, the best party they have had. The party usually stems from the annual Salmon Derby/Contest, but fishing for Salmon was prohibited this year by the Fish and Game. As you can see, that wasn't going to stop this party! It was a lot of fun, and the kids couldn't contain themselves. They were excited to go a week before it even happened!
Remnants from the Pirate Party
I put this together, its my dad. My mom teases him about not having a chin- but I dont see the problem. Maybe because I too, don't have a chin??? Hmmm....

Wednesday...Last Week
Here are a few photos from Wednesday. I have so many, I just cant figure out which ones to use! Anyway, these stuck out to me, so I am now showing them to you... There are a couple of signs in there that made us laugh as we drove out there. The truck one was great- its even funnier what is written on the bottom, if you can figure it out... The Cow is from the sign pointing to the Sears Point Raceway. Enjoy!

End of Day Fun
Today we just traveled. =Back to Antioch. Cameron got that Flu bug right as we left Anchor Bay, and was throwing up the entire day. That poor kid. I hate to see my kids in pain. We got back at around 5 p.m. and got settled in for the night. Jason had talked about maybe taking out his boat tonight, so I called him to find out if he was still up for doing it. I guess he was already packed and ready to go! Before I forget, Traci is the BEST WIFE EVER!!! She let me go out with my brother while she watched over Jake and Cameron. I took Zac, as you can see in the photos. It ended up being just a quick trip, but wow- it was amazing! These photos are a little out of order of our vacation, but I wanted to post something...

End of Week 1
I got a little behind in my posts. I honestly have been enjoying myself WAY too much. If heaven is anything like this, lets go, because I AM READY. I forget how blissful(is that a word?) Anchor Bay really is. It has been a long time coming for this trip, and everything has been great.
On the downside, there have been a few "hickups" along the way. -Doesnt everyone have those on family vacations? Honestly, I think everyone does, but no one cares to admit it. We will! Zac got sick on Wednesday morning. He threw up all over Nathan, my brother and his carpet. I was really worried about him, but he seemed to snap out of it after one more little episode later that morning. Well, silly me to to think that it ended there! Friday night, we had the entire family up at the coast(minus my sister and her family... so i guess it isn't the entire family then, is it?) and Jason, my brother made Dutch oven blackberry something or other... We had a wonderful dinner- and at around 1030- the sickness hit me. Blah. Lets just say i was visiting the plastic lined brown bag outside of the tent every hour until about 5 that next morning. It was pretty nasty. So that had me down and out all of Saturday, and Traci caught a touch of it on Sunday(today). She hasn't been throwing up like me, but she feels pretty lowsy. Hopefully this is the end of it, even though I know Cameron is the last to get it.
So I cant post photos here at Anchor Bay, the wireless link is pretty weak, so I will have to get some up when I get back tomorrow. Either way, I have 200+ photos to sort through- and all of them are great, so its going to be tuff job picking which ones I want posted!
Tonight is our last night, and I will truely miss this place until next year. I recommend it for anyone that is in the Northern area of Califonia to visit. It holds a special place in my heart.

Day 2: San Francisco
San Francisco was a fun day. We didnt get there until about 2 p.m., but we had a lot of fun, and loved every minute of it. We followed up the Warf with a San Francisco Giants game. I loved it. I wish I could go more often! Anyway, there are tons of photos, here are a few for now...
