On 4th of July weekend, Sameer is visiting us. So all six and a half of us, vija-ruchita, sameer, aai, Lisa, myself and neil went to lots of places. First we went to Savanna Channel winery - they have a really quaint redwood grove behind them that is an excellent picnic spot. Even in the middle of summer the place is cool with thick Redwood trees, and a very small creek with a trickle of water. Of course Neil loved the water, even though it was very cold. When he took him out, he wanted to go back.
Next we went to the Santa Cruz beach. The place was really crowded, we took longer to find parking than to get there. But it was worth it because we got to get our feet wet, and Neil got to stand in the waves. He was simply mesmerized with the vast expanse of water, and wanted to go inside all the way.

Next, we rushed back to Milpitas, grabbed a sandwich and headed for the 4th of july fireworks show. Since we fit so many things in one day, we did not get the seats right in the park, but had to watch it from a distance. Neil still enjoyed it, especially the last part where they let loose half of their fireworks arsenal in the last minute. Everything was bright and glittery and noisy. The next time we will watch the show from much closer.
It was an exhausting day, and Neil was excited - he did not sleep till 12:30.
