Heading North from San Francisco

(Today’s Blogger: Joshua)

On Saturday we had a picnic with Uncle Glen Friesen and his girls, so we could spend a little more time with them before heading north. The playground was really cool. I had a lot of fun. The girls made these really good muffins.

Then we went to visit my dad’s cousin, Deacon John Dibs and his family: his wife Irene, and his kids, John (18), Michael (17), Gregory (15) and Maria (12). We had a lot of fun. I played Rock Band and Tony Hawk on their Playstation 2. The night we got there, we went to look for a campground, but it turns out it didn’t have the set up we thought it did, so we went back to the Dibs’ house at about 10:30 and parked the trailer there. On Sunday we went to Holy Assumption Monastery where there’s a bunch of cats and beautiful flowers. The acting abbess is my Godfather’s sister, Mother Melania. After Liturgy, Dn. John took us on a tour of Napa Valley. Then we went to this winery where the adults sampled wine and the kids sampled grape juice.

The next day we went to Point Reyes National Seashore where we climbed up and down 302 stairs to reach the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse. All in all, we had a really fun time.
