Sunny Day at Stow Lake

The sun was shining warmly for the first time in a loooooong while, so we took advantage of the weather, packed a picnic lunch, and headed out to our playground, Golden Gate Park. Or more specifically, Stow Lake.

This is one of our favorite spots in Golden Gate Park, and we even took some of our wedding shots there!

Of course, we had to have the requisite Icee and Pink Popcorn snack. No visit to Stow Lake is complete without it.


Corser and I had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the scenery


While Russell did all the hard work


After the boat ride, we walked over to the lawns near the De Young Museum & Academy Of Sciences, and basked in the sun.


What a great way to spend a warm February afternoon!

Cabo Wabo Xmas IV

It's another Cabo Wabo Xmas for the Cayco family! This year, the de Joyas & Chuidians were joined by Miko, Bea, and Monica. Yep, it was a full(er) house this year!

As usual, everyone gathered on Christmas Eve for a Filipino dinner at Tita Yeyet & Tito Pepeng's house.


Save some for the rest of us, Isa!

Christmas Dinner was held at Chris and Erica's place. Keeping our tradition from last year, the "kids" made the Christmas dinner. Everyone was in charge of their own dishes, but we all chipped in to help each other with the prep work in the morning.

It was another wonderful Christmas filled with Food, Family, and FUUUNNN! For more pics, click HERE to see the album.

On the Road in October

Russell, Corser, and I took a roadtrip from October 27 through November 2 up the Pacific Northwest to visit his parents in Walla Walla, Washington. The route took us through Bend, Oregon, then Walla Walla, WA, then off to Portland, OR for a few days, then back down through Ashland, OR to California.
