If you are ever trying to get away with something, maybe dont choose my husband.
Driving across the CA border:
Man: Where you headed?
Z: Um, no
Man: No what?
Z: Oh, I thought you asked if we had fruit.
Man: I asked where you were headed, could you open your trunk for me sir?
No dead bodies, which might surprise you after hearing this conversation.
but we were smuggling fruit across the border.
i bet you'd never guess.
me, marcus and michelle probably laughed for 5 min straight after this incident.
poor zach, just so hard for him to lie.
we left for sf bright and early.
530 am to be exact.
and we started out the trip with donuts.
and they were gooood.
awesome idea marcus.
Hi.
we're liz and zach.
and sometimes we're hat people.
and sometimes we're not.
this day we were.
Oh the bread bowls.
to die for.
and dad, i walked on the left side of the street this time... and i ate crab... i must really be growing up.
you bet we went to the full house house.
and loved every minute of it.
especially zach, who still dvr's the blessed full house episodes.
i know you guys.
this is all i wanted.
the whole trip.
and it was the best 9 bucks I've ever spent.
Michelle's new rule: dont sing the song if you dont know the words.
this rule was made because marcus loves singing to songs, but he only knows 3 words to most songs.
and we were in the car A LOT
the man cave aka robs apt in san jose.
alex, zach and their friends do this 49ers monday night football game trip every year, and im sorry but i wasnt missing out this year.
not so much (at all) on the game, but on the trip to sf.
so sorry boys... alex...
I got michelle to come too so we could do our girl thing while they do their guy thing.
and it was perfect.
and hopefully michelle and marcus still want to be friends after driving 20 hours in one weekend with us
rob gave us the great idea of going to carmel and walking the streets.
it is the cutest town full of fun sidewalk shops and a nice beach.
and me and michelle took full advantage of it and it was a darling town.
and, when your married to marcus and zach, you also drive around for 2 hours searching for the homes of the people on "Trouble on the Hill" a Dateline special.
and yes, it really was 2 hours.
maybe more.
Marcus's conversation with a 17-year-old local boy:
M: Have you heard of trouble on the hill?
Boy: um, no
M: It's this dateline special about these 2 neighbors who get in this fight. They live somewhere around here.
Boy: I dont really watch the news
M: Did you hear about it though, one of them got killed. It was this big story. And we're trying to find their house.
Boy: Yeah... I dont know, ive never heard of it. sorry man.
Ya its fine buddy, its kind of creepy we were trying to find their house anyways.
and, your 17.
its not actually the news.
but still.
These 2 boys love each other.
their best friends, and really they think each other is the best thing ever.
i really dont think these 2 would ever get sick of each other. which is amazing considering me and michelle were about done with both of them come gametime and were very willing to drop them off at the stadium to tailgate for 5 hours before the game.
and then it was this boys bday.
and we went to cheesecake factory, my favorite.
i dont know how this happened.
but i was fine with it.
where next?
Chicago?
Greece?
we're there...
Trish's donuts.
and we also went to Happy Donuts.
which was amazing.
and lately im in love.
