Modesto Trip

So we flew down to Modesto, CA for an extended Easter weekend. We actually drove from Sacramento, and stopped by the Hershey Factory! Woo Hoo! Diane's family is kinda centered around there, so it was good to see them all. Her brother, Joe, and his family has adjoining rooms with us, so we got to see alot of Winter & Joe Jr. Phyllis, Diane's sister, couldn't make it, but her daughters Melissa and Alison stopped by on their way home from college, so that was really nice. We got to stop by Aunt Margie & Uncle Frank's place a couple of times with all of the younger cousins (grandkids) and eat! Always good food at Margie's. Michaela's dad, Mike, lives down there, and the girls got to stay the night and play with Michaela's other sister and brother. Friday night found us at Spirits to watch Mike's band DAM play and I got to meet some of the people that Diane always talks about...ok, just one that I haven't before, but Sean was in both bands playing that night. After Easter, we traveled down to Santa Cruz, first stopping at Casa de Frut for Garlic almonds and other such neccessities. Then on to the beach for some fun in the sun! There was much eating in Santa Cruz. As Michaela put it, I had three lunches! We also rested at 99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall for Santa Cruz beer and candied apples.
