First stop- Gilroy, CA

Kirk and I recently decided that we want to visit all Continental 48 states with our children before they "grow up" so this summer we crossed off CA, OR, WA, ID, UT. Our first stop on our trek across the Northwestern states was Gilroy, CA to see Jeanna, Jason, and Jacob. We had a great time, as usual. We really miss these guys and wish we could see them more.
This awesome ranch (Gizdich) had hundreds of rows of stawberries, blackberries, boysenberries, and raspberries which we all enjoyed picking. My kids could have picked berries for hours.

Carter and Emma especially loved the "all you can eat" buffet.


I was very happy to find out that all the strawberry and bosenberry juices came out of their clothes without a problem -Whew!!!

You can't go to California and not visit the beach (even if it was freezing and I had to wear Kirk's jacket the whole time)

Usually Katelyn doesn't like to get dirty so I asked her if she liked burrying herself in the sand and she said "no, but it makes me warmer"
