I feel like I was there with you. You all look so happy just being together.<br /><br />In my previous life, I had a customer whose office was located in SJC. I always looked forward to visiting this beautiful floral and peaceful place. I remember I was staying somewhere in inner California and had to take a very scary mountainous route to get to SJC, are you familiar with this? It was a very long time ago for me so I have forgotten the name of the mountain pass?L.

And I am always so touched by how gently attentive your sons are with their sister, as in that photo of Henry and Sophie walking along the beach. So what if there was Cherry Coke fueled chatter. That just adds to the real life sibling charm.
