Family visit

I'm a little late catching up with our blog posts, but better late than never. My parents came to visit us at the end of September, and it was a wonderful, activity-filled week! We stopped at many of Matt and my favorite places around the Bay Area -- Hakone Gardens, Harley Farms, Swanton Berry Farms, Hidden Villa -- and a few new places, too. Then we took a little trip up to Grass Valley to visit with my dad's college friends, Kent and Galia in their beautiful treehouse.  Here are some highlights:
