A Day in Berkeley


Here are some of the pictures from a day we spent showing Auntie Marilyn around berkeley. It was actually their last day in town and after a busy week of site seeing we wanted to take it easy. First we picked Holly up from school and headed to Tanta Kat's favorite Mexican place for lunch. We had yummy quesadilla. Then we took Marilyn to the garden store. She is really into gardening and plants so it was fun for her to see all the kids of plants that are local to northern California, the vegetation being pretty different from Florida and Georgia.

Next we headed over to Cordonices park, I wanted to show the family the Rose Garden but there was nothing in Bloom. So instead we played in the park. Holly was really into the Concrete slide but I was too scared to let her do it alone. She convinced me to go down with her which I did twice. later I let her go down on her own from about half way up the slope. Even Marilyn gave it a try. My mom was so cute, Holly about gave her a heart attack climbing up the long ladder of the regular slide she was so worried about her each time and that slide she did about 50 times. Finally everyone took a turn on the swings. Holly loved that Auntie Marilyn swung with her.

At the end of the day we met with Joel and Kat for dinner and Desert before taking them home and heading to the airport. It was a lovely day and a great way to end a super trip.
