The Garretts come to visit

Another INCREDIBLY long post:
When I was in Utah a few weeks ago Ray had told me that they (the Garretts) wanted to come visit and that they might drive out that coming weekend. I talked to Milli on the phone a few days later and it sounded like it was not going to happen. Then Thursday night Milli called and said they might drive out the next day. She called again a little later that night after checking flights and schedules and decided they would fly out early Saturday morning! THANK YOU so much for literally flying by the seat of your pants and coming to visit us! We had so much fun! While they were here we went to one of our favorite spots, Muir woods. We also went to San Francisco a few times. While in San Fran we hit up the Wharf, Pier 39, ate some yummy food at Chowders, froze our rear ends off and did some shopping. The next time we went to San Fran we took the Ferry in and went to China Town. We spent most of our time in a pearl shop and all of us ladies got pearl necklaces and earrings while Ray spent some quality time entertaining Zanna... Thanks Ray! We also went to Stinson Beach, Bodega Bay and Sausalito.

Muir Woods


Oh so strong! Jathan will probably be upset I added this one... but how could I not?




Stinson Beach








Golden Gate
This was the most common picture taken on the trip. Girls will be girls I guess!

Everyone getting ready for sleep on my living room floor! Awe cute!


San Francisco

A sweet mask a guy made out of leather. Jathan's eyes look super rad in this pic. It is almost like he is one with the wolf... ha ha! Does this remind you of the twilight books?? The indian turned warewolf! ;)

This picture kills me! We went on a little boat ride while in San Franciso. Milli was sitting next to the window where all the water was blowing in and had to cover up with a towel. What a sport!


It was FREEZING cold in San Fran. We had to buy Zanna a beenie and a whole new outfit to wear under her coat because it was so cold out. Weird crazy weather.

For some reason I could not get warm. I have three jackets on in this picture. Blue, Red and Orange.

Bodega Bay

This place was amazing. It was a beautiful, green, windey dirve along the coast. There were lots of crazy huge rocks out in the ocean and had a large hole through the middle of it. It was called "Goat Rock" It kinda reminded me of the Arches at Zion... only it was in the water...









On the drive home we stopped and took some pictures of the cows like true tourists. Jathan got some cool shots. It was such an awesome overcast day.

This is the only picture I got of China Town. These were the super nice gentlemen that sold us all of our many pearls. Pretty sure they loved us and the business we gave them.
Thank you guys again so much for coming. We had a blast!!
