Jeanne Visit - 14 Aug 2008
After not seeing my cousins since Christmas, they were able to visit me in California. It was only a little over a day, but it was wonderful. We played tourist, played video games, and just generally hung out. I hope we can do it again soon.

Rachel and Tulip
They were all impressed that my cats liked being held.
Air Mattress
That's a hell of an air mattress, and it was even a gift from Jeanne!
Emma and Jesse
No pictures!
Emma and Jesse, II
Like that's ever stopped me before.
Lauren
She's actually applied for Stanford Med School. I hope she makes it!
Explodey Eye Lauren
Apparently she's more allergic to my beasts than her own. Hehe.
Matt
He apparently liked the air mattress...
Rachel
By this point, the thought of "Wii" was going through everyone's minds.
Tulip
Hanging out to watch the fun.
Matt and Wii Fit
Wii Fit is always fun to watch.
Lauren's Hula-Hoop
It's the most fun to photograph.
Lauren's Hula-Hoop II
That it, it's the *silliest* to photograph.
Excited Rachel
Yay, Wii!
Ski-Jumping Emma
We learned something about that game that day: the jumping things are all about the weight differentials.
Watching the Wii
Well, that or reading the Far Side.
Lauren
Her eye was fixing up pretty well.
Off to Play Tourist
It took until 3pm, but we finally got out the door.
Winchester Mystery House
Yeah, I'd been here before, but I picked up a season pass too which makes it a good place to stop by now.
Rachel
It's nice to have a moody teenager think of you as a bright part of their life.
Jeanne
If only her head wasn't entirely in shadow!
Reading the Pamphlet
I was the only one that knew what the place even was.
Waiting in Line
Soon we'll be in! Soon!
Greg
I never get good shots of him.
Tour Guide
Sean? He wasn't very good.
Family of Tourists
I think they were a bit sick of touristing.
Jeanne
There, I did get a good shot of her!
The Bathroom
Watching people come down the stairs.
Random Shelves
I don't know how anybody was supposed to get to the shelves... but they amused me.
The Two Photos
That's a much better shot than I got last time.
From the Window
You can see the expensive shopping areas in the background.
Wandering the House
No falling through, Emma!
The Front Door
These looked good too. It's nice going through a second time!
Annoyed Greg
He really didn't like the tour guide.
Fascinated Family
They did like the concept, though... but more from the stories I told them.
The Cabinet
Rachel had her moment in the sun that day.
The Other Cabinet
Matt had a lesser moment.
Fresh Popocorn!
Pop-o-corn-o!
Mounting the Google Sign
Greg wanted a proper tourist picture...
The Kids and Google
...and they sure found one!
