San Francisco!

It was time for Annie, Audrey and I to start our road trip and adventure in San Francisco!

Audrey has a Kindle - awesome for trips! Download books, games and all kinds of funness!

WE ATE A LOT!  There was so much good food to be had, and Willie needed nourishment ;)


Continental Breakfast Audrey style !


My Colleague Dr. Olga Ramirez explaining our poster and work to another math educator at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) meeting in San Fran. It is the largest educational research meeting in the world - over 5,000 in attendance. It makes for a great conference every year and is hard to get your proposal accepted as so many are entered. I'm so glad we got in!

 

Our Poster...we've been doing Family Science (me) and Family Math (Olga) for seven years!

Audrey having dinner on top of Nordstroms - it was yet another delicious meal!

More of Audrey - love her so much.

My open-faced hummus sandwich...can you just see the deliciousness???

My new motto....going to put this on the front page of my course-pack next semester. It was an awesome trip and I hated to see our visit come to an end. AERA was awesome, the baby shower was exceptionally awesome, and being with Annie and Audrey was a highlight of the trip. Looking forward to seeing everyone again sooooon!!!!!

A visit to Lemoore Naval Air Station (California) and Annie's baby shower



Breakfast to start the day (Annie didn't want me to take her pic eating...I didn't follow directions :). Willie (the baby that Annie will have in July - birth name to be determined) is hungry so we all must eat a good breakfast. Courtney is an actor/writer in Los Angelus and came for a visit. Also, coming up in this visit is a baby shower for Annie :)

Lunch (another day) at Panera bread. Yes, food makes us happy!

Audrey trying out her new roller skates.

In honor of Annie's baby shower - well, no, not really-- - in honor of a lot of pilots coming home after being away for 8 months, there were many of these flyovers in the jets as they came in from there San Diego check in . It was a happy, happy day on base!

Lots of little boy clothes and toys! Can't wait!!!

Mother and daughter...and soon to be here son :)

Some of the things were Navy themed, some were hand sewn, all given with lots of love and best wishes!


A very excited soon-to-be sister!

Not sure what Audrey was thinking.... but I loved this look on her face :)
It was an awesome shower, and we soon started packing as the next day we (me, Annie and Audrey) were leaving Lemoore to head to San Francisco!
