Better late than never for more pictures and stories ...

These past 3 months have been pretty busy in terms of visit, travel, week-end getaways, open houses, ... So it's never too late to post more stories and pictures.
Last May, before our trip to Mexico/Belize, Cedric's parents visited us, to attend Cedric's (hopefully) last graduation and also to climb Mt Shasta. We prepared a busy schedule full of local californian experiences, to make them discover all the great things about the Bay Area: week-end in the Wine Country (in Healdsburg) with biking among the wineries, Berkeley graduation, Mount Shasta backcountry skiing for Cedric, his dad and Goeric (see Mount Shasta Part Two), San Francisco sightseeing, flying tour of the Bay Area with Cedric the pilot, great food tasting, and whale watching trip. We hope this will give some great ideas of traveling to California to some of you.





The same day Cedric's parents flew back to Belgium, we took our plane to Mexico.
After our trip, we tried to have a few "relaxing" week-ends, going to open-houses, and enjoying the numerous festivals and concerts San Francisco offers during the summer.

We also went rafting with Wei, Mike, Misha and Benjy on a class 4 tour. That was so much fun ! A little bit like the Radja river in Walibi but of course in much better ;-)




For more pictures, check Mike and Misha's pics.

The last 2 weeks of July, I flew to Brussels to attend a conference in Amsterdam (some pics here) and also took advantage of the week-ends to visit family and friends in Belgium. It's always good to be back home (even if this involves catching a cold in the long flights) !! There are so many babies back home now ....


After I came back, our busy week-ends started again: Steve and Marisa's wedding in Olema (close to Point Reyes), a great surprise week-end in Seattle and orcas island, and this week-end, Cedric is running a 200 miles relay in Oregon (Hood to Coast) with other crazy super fast googler runners.
