Fun Weekend with Ronnie and Terri!

On Thursday evening Tyler's parents came for a visit. We did a lot of shopping, went to a football game, more shopping, went to Monterey, more shopping, and more shopping. It was a fun long weekend. They have never been to San Jose, they came and visited us in Roseville but this was their first visit here. I think that they loved it. We had perfect weather while they were here, in the 80's! It was so nice to have a bigger apartment. In Roseville we lived in a one bedroom and so they had to sleep on an air mattress in the front room, so you could imagine how we were all starting to feel. This time they had their own room and their own bed so we all slept in peace. The extra space made such a difference. It was so fun to have them here and I can't wait to see them at Christmas time.
We went to the Stanford vs. USC football game. I would go to a college game any day over an NFL one. USC ended up winning but at half time it was 17-17. The fans were so fun to watch and I was cheering for both teams. I was confusing everyone and then I would yell "GO FOOTBALL." I told Tyler that I was just cheering for the sport since I really didn't care for either team. We all had so much fun. Tyler and Ronnie loved sports and Terri was thinking about shopping and I was just yelling to yell! USC band was absolutely amazing and HUGE, poor Stanford band was like 1/4th of the size. I am going to sound like a band fanatic, but the USC band was so cool and so uniform. They would spell things out and they sounded so good. Then you had the Stanford band that was having a fun day or something so they were all dressed up in Halloween costumes and dancing around on the field like maniacs! But they were having fun so it made it fun. And did you know that Stanford's mascot is a TREE! So weird! So over all the game was AMAZING until after and we sat in traffic for 2 hours before we even left the parking lot! Here are some pictures from the game!

On Sunday we took a drive to Monterey. We took the scenic route there that took us through some vineyards and on a crazy road. But it was so pretty. I would love to live there! We got to Monterey and had some lunch on the Pier and walked a little bit. Then we got in the car and headed out to Sunset drive so we could watch the sun set. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We got there at the perfect time. The pictures don't even give it justice. But here they are. . . plus one that I took in the moving car that makes the lady look like a ghost and of course a cool tree!
