The lovely Susan and John!
I made it to Benicia in one piece! I was so happy to meet my dad's old friends!
They told me lots of stories about their school and their time together.
Susan showed me tons of neat little meaningful crafts I can do for my travels. :)
I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I think it's safe to say Rusty did too!
She got away one time and John ran after her and lost his shoes! It was pretty funny!
Anyway, once I got there we sat down and talked for a while, I played the flute for them, and played around on the ukelele. :) I told them my ambitions and dreams and goals. I hopped in their hot tub just to fix my hair at least a little bit before we left! Then we went out to see downtown and get some pizza to bring back to the house.
Rusty can't get enough of those waves!
As you can see they took me down to the pier or whatever that's called and showed me their downtown. :)
Susan took my picture :)
Apparently this was the highest they'd ever seen the water! There's something going on with the weather every where I've been! I swear!
I think that's the Bay Bridge.
Ducky!! The only ducky out there, to be sure!
This is a MUCH better picture of the bridge :p
After we took a walk through down town and they showed me the bay water and everything, we got the pizza and went home to eat. Then they told me about my dad as a kid and what their school was like with their 7$ a week allowance! :p Then I tried to watch some scary Thai movie and fell asleep with rusty. When I woke up...
April got a FLAT! But we definitely handled THAT like ASAP
Anyway, that morning I was inspired to take photos of the beautiful house I was staying in!
I just loved that water spigot!
The front patio's shady area. :)
Normally this is the sunny area. :)
This is the view from the shady seat. :)
Those Cacti are SO gorgeous!! and those strings of shells are all shells from different beaches they've visited!
This is their awesome living room!
These doors are AWESOME too! The whale one isn't finished. I know it's probably hard to see but I LOVE that whale too!
LOL awwww look at Rusty! :) painting a sign!
Just wait til you see what becomes of this piece of cardboard!
I had to change dresses because while trying to get Rusty's pawprint, I got paint on my dress!
lol Oh Rusty-Butt <3 I just went crazy with the paint on her after she got some on her ear :p I had to take a break.
lol that faceeeee :)
Oh how I love this colorful house!
accidental shorts are practically my expertise. :)
Almost done! :)
Any way you read it, it makes sense.
Life is but a dream, 2000 miles away from home...
or 2000 miles away from home, life is but a dream...
:)
And last but not least, I painted a rock for Susan and John to thank them for the great time they showed me while I was in town! :) <3
Stick around for my arrival in San Fran!
That's All Folks!
