back in march 2011, we went to visit my side of the family in northern california. my mom had come down with a health condition that made us unable to go on our family vacation to china. luckily we were able to postpone it and ended up going in november instead. (pictures to come!) so, instead of china, we loaded up into our van and drove to visit my family for a few days. it was a whirlwind trip with all 7 of us in the van. but it was AWESOME to surprise my mom...she had no idea! i also loved seeing my dad and, most importantly, my grandma. i don't get to see her often enough, which makes me very sad. i would love for her to move here so we can help take care of her and see her more often. we were able to do a few touristy things like visit the golden gate bridge and ride the cable car. fun!
