Thanksgiving With Our Pals

We are delighted that we get to spend Thanksgiving with this crew. We've been to a few Hare/Noll hosted Thanksgiving dinners and it's fun to now host them.

Dexter and Teddy prepping the brussel sprouts.

Nice!

The dinner crew is busy.

Look at that bird.

Yum!

Wine is happening.

Sprouts are ready!

Thanksgiving crew!

Dinner is served!

Don't forget the delicious dessert.

Hare/Noll Fam Come For a Visit

What a thrill that Laura, Chris, Nick, and Teddy came for a visit over Thanksgiving. We were so excited to see them.

Teddy and Dexter have known each other their whole lives and being together is so easy and fun for them.

Playing games in Dex's room.

Checking out our Cathedral downtown.

Kearsley is so happy to be with one of her very favorite people, the wonderful Laura.

Meow Wolf was a requirement.

Pa and Ma.

Dexter eating some cake.

Then there was the tour of the house...delightful. Maya and Nick are one day apart in age and met when they were about 8 months old. Nick is a little taller than her now.

More Fun in San Francisco

Luckily got to have another Noll/Hare excursion. This time to the Academy of Science and a game restaurant.

Pre-museum time at a strange yet intriguing gluten free game restaurant. Kids playing while moms are chatting.

Back in the familiar butterfly dome.

The gang.

The landscape.

Marinitas for din din with the Zalayets.

Marin Bound

After much fun in San Francisco, we made our way to Marin for more fun.

A very big breakfast before heading North.

Rainbow tunnel, yes.

Copperfield's of course.

Soon we found ourselves playing laser tag with a familiar crew.

Friends for life, Maya, Dexter, Nick and Teddy

Best pals and Maisy.

Can't get enough of this one.

Forever friends.

Dinner with good people.

Laura and Momma Venture Out

Mom and Laura living in it up in very hot Palm Springs.

This is our view. The pool was nice. The weather HOT!

SO happy to see this lady again.

Swings at the local shopping area. 

Final Days

We are getting to the end of the line and saying goodbye to the best people. 

Our last time seeing the Hare/Nolls while we are living here. Teddy and Dexter hanging out at the farmers market.

Maya and Nick. 

The gang making the rounds.

Dumpling lunch outside.

A walk over to the other park for baseball and our last time together as residents of the same state. This is hard. 

The next day we headed over to San Francisco to drop of Todd's car to have it shipped to Santa Fe. The spot was near the airport. Here we are with just one car. 

On the way home, we went to Kokkari for Todd's birthday. It was wonderful to enjoy one of our favorite San Francisco restaurants before our big adventure.

Happy Birthday Daddio!

This is likely our last trip across the Golden Gate Bridge.

We'll miss you old friend.

Leaving is hard to do.
