Last week, Arthur was at Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. He spent the week schmoozing with representatives from different game companies learning about all the newest technology trends in game making. So, I took the boys to visit their grandparents.
The timing was perfect. The town where my parents live was celebrating the grand opening of a much needed bridge across the river. It was an opportunity to take advantage of the beautiful scenery and get outside with the kids.
As I uploaded these pictures, I realized that I am not good at covering all the events. We got to spend quality time with Arthur's grandparents, parents and brothers, as well as my parents, my sister and her 3 boys. I don't have pictures to show all these people, but the boys were so happy. There were some tears shed on the car ride home when they realized that it would be a long time till we would get to have so much fun with family again.
This is the other side of the bridge. If you look closely, you can see a famous prison on the left bank of the river. This is also 5 minutes from my parents house, but surprisingly, the town is extremely safe to live in. I am not sure why the prisoners get to live in such a prime and beautiful location, though!
Dim Sum with Arthur's family. Arthur's grandparents were here and I wish I got a picture with them.
After filling our bellies at Dim Sum, the kids entertained themselves by jumping off an art sculpture at the nearby college campus (Grandpa's workplace):

At dinner with Arthur's family, the boys decided that they would only look at the camera while making funny faces:
Crossing the new bridge. This is 5 minutes from my parents house. You can see the dam in the distance. Thankfully, the boys are too young to make jokes using the word "dam"!

When we got to the campus, Grandma and Grandpa Shek were sad to realize that it was Spring Break already and the Student Union was closed. Of course, they couldn't back down on the promised ice cream treat for the boys! So, we headed to Leatherby's for a late afternoon snack!
