Christmas in CA - NorCal

Since we didn't come back during the summer, we decided to make a quick trip during Christmas break.

Alex and I flew to SFO arriving in the evening, Maggie flew up the next afternoon, and Paul arrived the evening after that. We spent the time before Paul arrived with Melodie and saw Steve for a late lunch.

Paul hasn't seen his cousins in the Bay Area in awhile, so first off was a seafood banquet lunch with them and their families. Half of the 12 first cousins were there with 10.5 offspring - second cousins!

After lunch we drove north to visit my mom and since Paul hadn't been to Redding in a few years, played tourist and visited the Sundial Bridge and Shasta Dam during our short visit.
