It is interesting to return to the Bay area and feel so familiar. The purpose of this trip has been to be there for Jason, Lindsey and Isaac, but it has also given us the opportunity to explore Alameda and Berkeley a little more. There are some very interesting, pleasant spots in Alameda. The walk along the bay is great, and the proximity to downtown and the South Shore shopping center is very convenient. We found some good restaurants, including a very good Viet Namese place.
Wednesday we end our stay here, say goodbye to everyone and head for home. We are ready to go home, yet we will miss everyone (especially Henry) terribly. We have one more visit planned for Thanksgiving then that will be it for California for 2009.
We have started a new blog danandpatsgrandkids@blogspot.com so that we can post things specifically about grandkids, separate from our travels.
