After our train ride up Bear Mountain, we all met at the Big House in Santa Cruz. Susan and I got lost and had to purchase a map LOL. We visited for a while before dinner. The restaurant was very close but finding a place to park was a challenge. Before too long we all were inside the restaurant.

Before the meal, we all introduced another member of the family. Cristin was our MC and kept us on track during the introductions. We all chatted and shared during the meal. The food was excellent and the service was great. Susan and I had to leave early to travel back home as we worked the following day.

We did not take very many pictures of the dinner and all but one of Mom and Dad turned out too dark because of the bright windows behind them. However, we did make a video of the introductions. The video is in two parts each about 15 minutes long. These are raw (unedited) and so some of the speakers are soft in places, the camera moves wildly about and other interesting effects and artifacts can be found.

You can access Part one and Part two of the video by clicking on the part you want to view. The format is 320x240. I also uploaded a 720x480 version. Wide Screen Version Part 1 and Wide Screen Version Part 2
I may edit the video and upload a different version but that may be a while :-)
