San Jose

Dave's Grandma lived a long life of 91 years and just passed last week, so this weekend we went up to San Jose for her funeral. It was a beautiful funeral service. It was nice to see family members and she the lives that she touched.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites. It was nice. There was a waterfall and pond in the middle of the hotel with big coy fish in it. There was an indoor swimming pool. Dave did some huge splashes in the pool. John and Rob (Dave's brothers) were also doing some big splashes. I attempted to do a splash, but I don't think that it really worked. Ellie tried jumping into the pool too. She would squat really low and try to grab Dave's arms before she would jump. It was really funny. Dave was throwing Ellie way up in the air and catching her while she splashed in the water and Ellie loved that. She had a huge smile on her face. We also enjoyed big breakfasts in the morning, next to the coy pond.

The first night we were there we went out to dinner at a restaurant that Dave's family use to go to when Dave was little. Dave's family lived in San Jose when he was little until he was in first grade. The second night Dave and I went out to Chili's. This picture is Kayla at Chili's. (You should click on this picture and make it zoom in because you can see the colors of Kayla's eyes really well).

The girls did really well for so much driving in the car. Road trips are a lot more difficult when you are traveling with little ones.
