We went up to Pacific Grove for Christmas in 2000. Along the
way, we took a trip on a nature preserve called the Elkhorn Slough,
and also went up to San Francisco and stayed with my ex-sister-in-law
Lori.
We were also fortunate that my niece Courtney and her husband
Henry were in town, so we got to see them. We also had dinner with
our friend Terry Anderson and his boyfriend Dennis while we were in San
Francisco. We concluded the trip by swinging by Jennifer, John, and
Sienna's house in Daly City (they now live in Hollister).
