Last weekend, we took a short road trip to Vallejo to visit my grandparents. After Gabe woke from his nap, we walked the waterfront. The weather was in the low 80's and breezy (unlike the 107 that we're expecting today). My grandparents don't even have an AC~ now that's the place to live.
My favorite part of the visit was listening to the many stories. My grandma shared about the Depression. When my grandma was a little girl, she found a coin on the ground. A man put it tight in her hand and told her to run home quickly and to give it to her parents. The man made sure the other kids would not follow and try to take it from her. Their family was able to buy a huge sack of flour, sugar, and other cooking items. What a blessing during those hard times!
My grandpa was in a submarine during WW2. I always enjoy listening to his war stories and looking a pictures of his brothers, who were also in the war. During our next visit, we would like to take the ferry to SF and tour the WW2 submarine at the pier. We had a wonderful time and look forward to our next visit with them.
