After spending a wonderful Memorial weekend in Northern California we took the California Zephyr from Oakland to Provo. It was a fun experience. Before leaving, we loved spending time with grandpa and grandma Livingston in Atherton and with the Shallenbergers in Vallejo at the Shallenberger Family Reunion.

Highlights of Memorial Weekend:

-Learning that one of our relatives speaks Cherokee.
-Six Flags Platinum Passes
-Running a successful 5K along the Vallejo boardwalk for the Shallenberger Scholarship Fund.
-Playing Rummikub with grandma.
-Listening to grandpa's stories about Heber J. Grant.
-Eating dinner with the most "interesting" man ever! (He ate at least 12 packs of butter in front of us, had long bleached wild hair that went in all directions, especially up; and had the most incredible BO).
- Visiting the Oakland Temple with family.
-Seeing Tommy whom we haven't seen in a long time.
