Xmas vacation

Wintertime in N. Calif - rainy!

Getting ready for the cousins' arrival

Uncle H visited as well.
Grandma and Grandpa stayed in Pittsburgh to recover from surgery.

Something to shout about, on the ferry ride to Sausalito

Elephant seal tour in Ano Nuevo

Playing in the sand was more interesting than the seals


Tired after the long walk - thanks Auntie Anna

Cousins visiting videos


Things get crazy when you get these two kids together.


Enjoying a refreshing slushee at SF Zoo was the best part of the day.

Cousins visiting

Discovery Museum in San Jose

Whose idea was this?

SF Zoo - to see the "Aminals" as Jessica still calls them

The treats are sometimes the best part

"Crazy kids" Vic is thinking

Season passes to Great America


J is in her swim suit - the small water slide here was her favorite part of Great America, as well as the Dora Sing-Along show (how many times did I have to watch that???)

She didn't like this ride

Hong Kong April 2008

Entrance to Vic's parents'condo

Tsim Sha Tsui promenade overlooking Victoria Harbour

View outside the condo - 60th floor was it?

Afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel. I was so glad that I didn't have to eat yet another Chinese seafood banquet meal.

Taking the MTR to Hong Kong Disneyland



Jessica was very shy around the princesses. But we spent the afternoon chasing them around the park, for multiple pictures with them.

On the way to the condo pool, where Jessica first learned to swim, by herself with Vic.
