a visit from family

Jim's brother Rex and his family came down from Oregon for a visit, so we took them for a  walk on the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a nice walk 3.8 miles, and windy as ... well you get the idea. 

This is Rex. 
This is me with my sister in law Lori. 
Here's the family, we all posed for this one can you tell who's who?
Rex on the far right, our niece Ambrelee in the front, me right behind her, Lori to the left of me looking at San Francisco, and our nephew Ryan beside her. And lots of other tourists to the left. 
In an earlier post, i mentioned the suicide rate of the bridge, so I guess this next picture is self explanatory! Sad but true.

This is the San Francisco sky line from the center of the bridge.  We stopped for a while to watch all the sailboats sailing around the bay. It was very cool to actually see how far a sailboat heels over. One day we will be out there too! The other bridge you see is called the Bay Bridge, it goes from just south of Berkeley across Treasure Island and on to San Francisco.
