“We went to the Tapestry Art Festival in downtown San Jose. It was very nice, but hot. They had booths set up for the kids so they could go and play. It was all free—a very good time. It was great.”

“We didn’t do anything at all. We just stuck around the house and spent some time together. We also shopped for a new swing set, play system. It was an easy weekend. We just hung.”

“We went up to Lake Tahoe. Pretty much just hanging out. We did take a drive up to Reno for a rib cookoff. It’s kind of like the Tapestry and Talent here only they do ribs. That’s pretty much it. And we chopped wood.”

“We had two barbecues on Saturday and Sunday then Monday we had a big, blowout end of the summer one. I had air conditioning so it was fine. We really had fun last weekend. We took our kids and went to every beach from here to San Luis Obisbo. We went to Pismo and Morrow Bay. It was a really good time.”
