we rode the bart to san francisco. we ate in this yummy thai restaurant, rode the cable car to pier 39, did lots of shopping, went to union square to do even more shopping, and ate the best cheesecake ever at the cheesecake factory.

our next adventure was at the yosemite national park, which was about a 6-hour drive from where we stayed at dublin.

we went back to san francisco a few days later to do more sight-seeing. a few minutes before this picture was taken, i almost plunged into the bay because the wind was so strong!

tita jing brought us to a bunch of outlet stores at tracy. we went there with her adorable niece, jazzy. after hours of shopping, we went back to dublin where we took dozens of pictures of jazzy and my cousin, dylan.

we went to monterey, which has the the most expensive golf course, the cleanest beach (that has sands as white as boracay), the most expensive houses (9.95 million dollars only because it's near the beach!), and the best clam chowder.

of course, we went to disneyland. i finally saw the electrical parade in english (the first and only time was in tokyo disneyland). we also rode the tower of terror which was really terrifying for me.

that concludes my *brief* recap. click here for more pics of our trip (if you're interested). but before the verse for the day, let me leave you this pic of the adorable lucy.
she and dylan kept me company during those times when we stayed at home.
