Menlo Park (San Fran)

Staying with Lee and Linda in Menlo Park, where Shannon grew up, was the first time we have stayed anywhere for longer than 3 days. Such a relief not to be lugging the bags around for a few days.

Since our last trip 18 months ago, Oden, Shannon's nephew, has grown up so much- Bogey, the family golden retriever has another play mate.

I have made amends with Bogey from the last visit. Previously Bogey and I were in constant battle for bed space. I have now won the battle and managed to have a good night's sleep. In return for a peaceful night's sleep, I was duty bound to throw / hit the ball for her to chase throughout the day. Surprisingly, it really helped my short chipping game when we played a few rounds of golf.

Shannon had a fun day with the girls shopping for Leslie's bridal and bridesmaid's dresses. Lee, Sheryl and I did more manual stuff back at home. A perfect day was had by all.
