Way back in March we had some visitors.

We've been remiss in our blog updating and as a result the content isn't really a completely accurate account of our adventures. We'll attempt to correct this over the next few days. Step one is to blog about Uncle Dustin and Auntie Jessica's visit at the end of March.

at the deYoung Museum

It was Uncle Dustin's spring break from school (he's working on a second bachelor's degree, this time in 3D Animation from the Art Institute of Portland) and it also happened to coincide with Easter, so it was nice to have family with us to celebrate. We had a fairly packed week: the deYoung Museum, Japan Town, Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Ave., Palo Alto and, of course, a couple meals at J's work. The Japan Town excursion was quite an adventure; we parked downtown and took the street car (what we thought was) most of the way and then walked up those famous hills with the kids in the backpacks. On our back downtown there was an accident along the street car line so we ended up taking the bus back and arrived at the parking garage one minute after closing. They made us pay $50 (per car) to get our cars back.

it was a loooong walk to get there

Its definitely worth noting that they brought us Voodoo donuts, even carried them on the plane to ensure they were intact and full of all their voodoo glory when they arrived. It was the first time B and C got to experience the joy that comes in that pink box. Dustin and Jessica made a couple solo trips into the city this time around, which we think is good because hauling the kids (as adorable as they may be) all the museums and shopping that San Francisco has to offer gets old pretty quickly. They were able to hit up the SF MOMA and H&M on their own.
