recap on zita's visit

so, as i may or may not have said before, can't remember and i'm too lazy to check, zita is experiencing the states for the first time.  i think she goes home in a few days, but she's been hanging out in utah (somewhere around lehi i think) for a couple of months.  chris got her to come out here to visit us, and the state of california, for the weekend (last weekend... i'm just slow) and we had a ton of fun.  here is a picture summary of our fun.

i love the beach.  even if it's the wrong ocean...

there he is!

too bad it wasn't sunnier... or at least warmer!

check us out, we're standing on a pole.

lone cyprus.  how pretty is that?

baby girl was NOT thrilled that we woke her up to go to the beach.

they put their feet in the water at several beaches even though it was ICY cold.  it was zita's FIRST TIME EVER experiencing the beach/ocean/sea.  i made her taste the water.  she was surprised how salty it was.  ha.

zita wanted her picture with baby abigail

so there you have it.  stanford campus on thursday and friday.  down the coast for 17 mile drive, monterey, and carmel on saturday.  up to san francisco on sunday.  we had a blast.

ps- zita's favorite food here in the states is costco hot dogs.  she said her least favorite food is "steaks" although the first four times i asked her she was definitely saying "snakes."  i told her that's not an american food and soon enough we understood each other.  it was great.
