Saturday Evening

On Saturday we went to see Jon's grandma, Mae. She lives next to Nae & Mark (Vaunae's sister and her husband).
Nae & Mark have two Mastiffs.

Addison loved the dog.


The boys and Addie went swimming in Nae and Mark's hot tub.









The USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum

On Saturday we went on to see the USS Midway. Addison stayed with Grandma, Grandpa, and Melanie.

Vaunder and Russell at the helm.

On the deck of the USS Midway. It was an old aircraft carrier that was last used in 1992 and now has been made into a museum.








The boys (and I) loved it!
Thanks for all the planning and taking us Jon!

Tracy and her sisters (Michele and Melanie) made the bouquets.
They were amazing!

Tracy also made her own wedding cake with four layers...
It was delicious.

The Cabrillo Monument & Tide Pools

On Thursday morning we went to see the Tide Pools & Cabrillo Monument at Point Loma. The monument is in the background of this picture of Addison, but I never actually got a picture of it.

The day we went to the tide pools, the tide was in so we weren't able to get very close to the beach. However, the ocean and all the the rocks were so beautiful. We went on a hike along the ocean by the tide pools.

There were no people behind Russell and Grammie in line, so Russell got to sit in the pilot's seat before takeoff.
