Most of my family made it out to San Francisco in early August to visit my grandmother for her 89th birthday. Here are some of the photos from the trip. I wish I could have been there.

Everyone. Front row: My second cousin Ana, my cousin’s wife Celeste, my aunt Jean, Nancy
Back row: My cousin Mark (Jean’s son), my uncle Ed (Jean’s husband), my uncle Paul, my grandmother Ruth, my dad Robert and his cousin Marylou.

My dad.

Ana and Dad.

Top to bottom: the three siblings, Paul, dad, Jean and their mom.

I’ve avoided this fate (thanks mom!)

We’re a big gaming family.

Cousin Mark and Uncle Paul helping their hearts.

They played one of those “murder mystery” type games. I think these are the rules. It was apparently set on a cruise ship.

Oh dear, they did costumes/disguises too!

Why is my dad wearing a pirate hat? Where is Jean’s certificate? Why does my uncle look deranged?
