Northern Cali - Day Three - Blast From the Past

Today we were driving to pick up Blake's nieces and nephew Tyler, Brittany and Emma as they were going to go with us on the rest of our trip. As we were going to Merced to get them, we went through Modesto (where I grew up) and Atwater (where Blake grew up) and checked out our old houses. I got to see an childhood friend of mine, Erica Baird Evans. Then we picked up the kiddos... so we had six total and headed out to Monterey so we get to the Aquarium early the next morning.
