From December 28, 2018, through January 1, 2019, the Blomquists came for an (all-too-short) visit. The weather was generally very nice, and we did a lot!

We were glad to have Archer here on the 29th for his 13th birthday, which we celebrated by shopping at Stanford Shopping Center and eating dinner at Pedro’s in Santa Clara. On the 30th we drove to San Francisco, where we had brunch at the Cliff House and hiked the coastal trail near the Golden Gate Bridge.

On the 31st the Blomquists went to Santa Cruz and we all rang in the New Year at the Livengoods.
