Vacation Day 2 - San Jose

A Visit with my former college roommate and dear friend, Elizabeth Goulding & family.

Charity and Elizabeth Goulding & Sara

We left the MacDonalds after a nice breakfast. David was especially impressed with the "real" breakfast. Apparently the cereal and toast Mommy regularly serves is not real. We drove to San Jose where we spent the day with the Gouldings. What fun to catch up with our friends. The kids always have fun there as they have someone their age to play with. We especially enjoyed seeing Charity. She looked great. It was hard to imagine that just a few short weeks ago she was fighting for her life. What a blessing to see her healthy and enjoying her family again.

The Goulding girls have been quite educated from Charity's hospital stay as well as being on the receiving end of lots of fun medical equipment. There was a lot of playing doctor going on that day.

David and Tucker spent much of the day with a box of magic tricks. They practiced and had to put on a show before we could leave.

We left the Gouldings in the late afternoon and began our drive to Red Bluff, CA. We had a hotel room for the night reserved there. We basically crashed when we arrived. The kids took longer than we would have liked to settle down, but that is the downside of being all in one room.
