Visiting the Campbell's

We Love You Guys!!

Look at Bradley getting along with all our new friends!!
We arrived in San Anselmo, the home of the mountain bike, and just as hilly as San Francisco after passing through the legendary rainbow tunnel. The driveway to the Campbell’s house is pretty serious to say the least. It is like a roller coaster. We had to drive straight up to make it to the top. When we were at the top we were greeted by smiling faces, which was nice. We were here to spend a little time with the family that we had met on the river trip. This is the family that had the same fate of having their car broken into on vacation, but through the broken glass we were able to make friends. On the river the inquisitive Leah had discovered that one of my very favorite things happens to be fruit salad and Brad is a sucker for an Oreo cookie. Of course the first thing they showed us was a giant bowl of fruit salad and an unopened box of Oreo’s. Yum! Capote the Coyote finally had reached his home to live with Leah. It was really exciting to be able to give her the stuffed animal to replace the one that got taken when the cars were broken into. Ian actually had the same stuffed animal so they can both take part in the traveling Coyote fun. Brad and I will both miss Capote but we know he is in good hands – just remember that he likes to gamble so watch him and your money around slot machines. We were fed well and had a really nice time hanging out and talking with our new friends. Brad and I both got a chance to play with Ian and Leah. We both jumped on a trampoline for the first time in a very long time. I think Brad and I were introduced to a ton of new things including Webkins, Lego Star Wars, and the computer zoo game. Ian chopped off all of Brad’s limbs with a lightsaber until he was only a head. In the morning Brad had the pleasure of being jumped on by myself and with a little help from Leah and Ian we were able to wake him up. We took a tour of San Anselmo, which is a super cute town. We picked and ate plums along the walk. Once we were back at the Campbell’s Ian became the reigning champion at a war like dice game and Leah and I played MASH -–which I have not played since I was her age. Regretfully we did not get to really say goodbye to Lundy because we had to leave before he was home from work. So we will take this time to say thank you both for having us and we hope to see you again someday. Be sure to let us know if you are ever on the East Coast – and we love to travel. Your home was so wonderful and full of laughter and love. Brad and I were so happy that we were able to see you again on our trip. Diane keep me in the loop and maybe we can have a coast to coast book club =).
