now that finals are over and knowing that i never have to take american heritage every again (my hear is singing) i can enjoy the break & holiday. so far it's better so so great. really. full of work, family, and friends. lovely. however before the break really started us henderson's thought we needed a big bang to start out the month, and what better way to do so then to go to a raider game?! my dad grew up in santa rosa and the raiders practice field was just right across the street. when he was young he would go with his dad and so we decided to go to one ourselves. it. was. awesome. so so fun. we first went to san fran and couldn't ask for a better day. clearer and warmer then ever. we went to Boudin, an amazing sourdough sandwich and soup place and then of course to see the sea lions (side note: if katie was an animal she would be a sea lion. she loves them.) anyway. it was lots of fun. we missed the big brother kyle but were able to take the main squeeze sis-in-law liss lou with us. plane and car rides with catching up, random conversations, and basically peeing our pants laughing. we then went to the game and it was seriously like walking on to a pirate ship! someone would yell "RAIDERS!" and the whole line would echo it back. even my lovely mother was yelling it! hilarious. even though we lost it was still the best experience. at half time they recognized the hall of fame and my dad just about died. it was all the players that played while he was growing up. we had no idea this was going to happen but it was awesome. the night ended by going up to the oakland temple which looks over basically the whole bay area. lovely. amazing. then we went back to the hotel, crashed, woke up to a lovely view, and sadly flew back home. the weather was lovely. and the quality family time was priceless. now we are all sitting in a big cabin up in heber. i love love love my family and like i said before, the break has been a dream. here are some pictures of the san fran trip.
sorry for the picture overload.
much love.
