Autumn was telling her mother about some of her adventures in Santa Cruz. At the celebration were Autumn, Travis & Tara, the Mama, Mama's boyfriend Mike, and Uncle Tom, who was flirting with the waitress.

The restaurant manager knew Autumn, and so bought the first round of drinks. Little did he know the drinking habits of those gathered!

Graduation was very exciting. Autumn graduated with honors, and was pleased that her whole family was there to share in the event. Tara's mom arrived at the graduation grounds early that morning (she was the 3rd person there!), and so we had front row seats!

After the ceremony, everyone including Autumn's dad went to a restaurant next to the boardwalk for brunch.

After the festivities ended, everyone split up - Tara & Travis went back to San Jose, Autumn had to finish packing (she moved that weekend to San Jose to begin graduate school the next day!), the mama and Mikey went to Santa Barbara, and Uncle Tom went home.

Tara & Travis were staying at Travis's brother Paul's house. That afternoon, the three of them went to the Winchester Mystery house, leaving the puppy at home.

The estate was bigger than Tara remembered it being. Although Travis and Paul were raised in San Jose, they had never been!

The next day, Travis, Tara, Paul, his wife Adrienne, and their new baby John Thomas went to San Francisco and Alcatraz, another place the boys hadn't been to before.
