i heart the west coast

i apologize for the hiatus--we recently went on a nice [not quite] long [enough] vacation across california, then work got crazy [as usual] so NOW i'm finally back. i've narrowed this post down to my 10 favorite pictures from the whole trip. (the actual trip folder contains 1098 jpegs. this is not counting 4 rolls of film i don't have time to scan in...)
1. mandatory family pic (includes crying baby + 2 dogs) 2. road trip view on the way to lake tahoe 3. jumping pic (not sure why chris is twice as high as me?) 4. AMAZING random stop on the way to SF 5. downtown SF (credit: chris) 6. view from coit tower at sunset (credit: chris) 7. good luck dim sum in new chinatown 8. what pictures look like when you rely on timers and forget the tripod 9. collected beach stones in pacifica 10. this blog had a lovely vacation as well, thank you :)
