Today is Catherine's Happy Birthday! Her party is not until this Saturday so today was just like any other Wednesday. Catherine actually went to bed pretty early. After dinner, watched Baby Einstein and off to her crib, not even a fuss. I guess she was really tired.

Did get a chance to play Grand Tourismo with Sarah though which was pretty funny. She wanted to pick Elina's Rav4 as her car but it's not available. Then she saw the late model MR2 with the top down and she picked that one because she said that's fufu's car. Haha, so cute. Of course, we didn't really race as she can barely remember which button is the gas paddle so we ended up just crashing our cars into each other. She loved that. It was pretty weird crashing a MR2 into a Aston Martin Vanquish again and again. Ouch!!!

We did more preparation for Catherine's party. Janet was doing all the party favor bags and I did the magnets. I love how the magnets turned out. Unfortunately we ran out of the magnet supply. Pray that we would be able to get some more tomorrow.

I will continue on with the vacation blog some other day. Do check my flickr though as I may just put all the photos there.

So Last weekend we went on vacation with the Lys to San Francisco. Kind of a spur of the moment thing. I hope to do a couple of entries here showing pictures we took on our trip.

We left on Thursday early morning, first stop was Gilroy to do some outlet shopping. Janet got a set of matching dresses for Sarah and Catherine which was cool. Went to look for a piggy bank for Sarah at the Sanrio store but didn't really find one that we liked. Tax was more expansive there so we didn't really go broke there.

Next we went to this Japanese Garden in San Jose. Never been there before and it was quite interesting. Saw lots of Koi in the pond which was pretty neat. They also had this dead end bridge that was rather strange
There were plenty of picture opportunities
But not every one likes to have their pictures taken
We spend the next 2 days in San Francisco. We were so hoping to visit the Golden Gate Park Museum but they were either under renovation or moving to a different location. I forgot which. That was a big disappointment. So instead we went to yet another (though much nicer) Japanese Garden.
We got in for free which was quite nice. I've been to Japanese Garden in Japan many time and I have to say this one is very very authentic. Even the ticket booth looks almost identical to the ones I've seen in Japan.
Okay, gotta end this for now as it is close to 1 am. Please stay tune for more.

Sorry it has been ages since the last update.  Just came back from our joint family vacation with Peter and Elina's family so I should be doing a longer entry soon.

There was nothing going on much for a while just the daily routine so there were no updates.

I was thinking that I should just do at least once a week as a weekly photo blog, what do you guys think?  If you guys don't mind, I would try to do more random entries.
