August started as July ended...on vacation in gold country. The rest of the month was spent visiting friends and celebrating birthdays. |

Our vacation to Sonora (gold country) didn't find us striking it rich, but it was a relaxing vacation where Bradley got to look at some real old-fashioned trains and enjoyed some time in the pool. |

If you think this looks familiar, go rent "Back to the Future III" (okay, you're probably better off taking our word for it). This is the caboose featured at the end of the movie when Doc flies off into the future. | ||||||||||||||

Back at the hotel, a little dip in the hot-tub was just what the doctor ordered. Bradley sure does like to splash. That is, when he's not checking if dad forgot to shave today. "Mommy's not gonna like that sandpaper face daddy!" | |||||||||||||

Following our visit to gold country, we went to our friends place near Sacramento for a couple days of hanging out. The pool was great, and we all had a great time. | ||||||||||||||

Bradley got his first taste of birthday cake at Trish's "new mom's group" birthday picnic. Somehow, Bradley managed to get more cake on his feet than in his mouth. | ||||||||||||

The San Francisco Bay area was treated to a very entertaining lightning storm at the end of August, and Andy stayed up late to catch all the action... | |||
