Our final day in California Ashley has family passes to the Oakland Zoo. It was a warm day, and great weather. It's a great zoo! Not too big, great exhibits, great looking animals, and well, a great workout. Maybe not as hilly as the San Diego Zoo, but pushing a double stroller up those hills, WOW!
We drove by the Oakland Temple on our way home from the Zoo.
It sits up high, and you can look out over to San Francisco there. 
Mya and Riley were such good girls in their car seats during the week.
Kids played when we got back to the house. Here they are playing in Riley's beautiful nursery.
Ash, I loved everything about Riley's nursery. You created such a lovely room for her. 
It was so fun for me to see Ashley and Dave's home they spent almost 2 years remodeling. I had only seen it on the blog. 5 years ago when we were out there to visit them, they lived in an apartment complex they were managing(reminded me of Melrose Place). Oh to have had a blog in 2006. That was a 7 day trip, that turned into a 12 day trip, during the Great California Heat Wave of 2006! Oh, that was truly a BLAST!!!! Seriously, we loved it! Ash, what a blog post that trip would have been! :) Anyway, just loved seeing their home, and being with them!
That evening Kody had baseball practice, then we met Dave over in Redwood City(where he works) for dinner. Had a yummy dinner at Red Robin (the place they wanted to take me had a 2hr. wait). The girls and I left Ashely's home at 5am April 23, to catch our early morning flight home.
Wonderful memories from a wonderful trip!
