Christmas Week Part 1 - The Chars

We've had Justin's family here for about 4 days and my parents for a couple days after that so this has basically been one long awesome Christmas week.

For the first time (including when we were living in Irvine) we were able to host a dinner in our apartment with people sitting at a table instead of on the floor.  With Justin's family we visited with other family members in the area (great-aunts, second cousins, etc.) and visited the Golden Gate Bridge.

We also explored Half Moon Bay to walk on the cliffs, see the seals, and eat lunch at a haunted restaurant that use to be a speakeasy (sadly there was no sign of the ghost that day). 

 

There were seals but the beach is closed to keep people from walking too close so I couldn't get a good picture.  Instead here's a picture of the sign:

Near the restaurant there was this sign.  Look closely - see those people out on the trail with the extreme danger?  Yep, those are my sisters-in-law.

 Visits with the Chars are always an adventure!
