The last one is about the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose where I went with my granddaughters. The tour takes around 75 minutes and because the house is very big we walked more than a mile through small corridors, up and down stairs. The text on the layout is in Dutch but tells the story of Sarah Winchester, a widow and heiress to the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. Because she felt haunted by the ghosts of those felled by the "Gun that Won the West" she begon a never ending renovation of her house. It resulted in a 24,000 square foot labyrinth with 10,000 windows, 2,000 doors, 160 rooms, 13 bathrooms, 6 kitchens and one seance room. There are doors leading to nowhere, staircases to the ceiling and windows in the floor. We have enjoyed it very much! -

Number 4 is all about Stanford. I promised my granddaughters a trip to Stanford Mall to go shopping and have lunch and I am impressed with all the greenery, flowers and the cleanliness of the mall. Another day I went with an Uber to Stanford University where I went to a small museum The Anderson Collection. A collection of contemporary art from the Anderson family and there even was a small painting by Willem de Kooning, a Dutch painter who went to the States and lived there. After the museum I walked to the Arizona Garden, which has a collection of cacti and succulents originating from Arizona. Undoubtably I will use photos from that day in projects to come. -

Number 3 and a daytrip to Monterey Bay and Aquarium. I used photos of the jelly-fish in day 7 from the Template Workshop. The 17 mile drive was a very scenic drive with lots (17) of opportunities to stop and admire the ocean and take photos. That day was rather windy, so the waves were crashing against the rocks at some places. -

Number 2 is about a daytrip to the Muir Woods National Monument with those impressive Redwoods. -

I have been working on a couple of pages for a photoalbum of my trip. I don't make a whole album with scrapbooking, just one page for every topic and after that page come the photos with some text if necessary. I do that in the software from the printing company. For my intro pages I use a rectangular format in the size of the album, so they fill the whole page and the printing will be on the full page, no margins. My pages although resized are pretty big so I have to post them here one by one. The first is about the village where my family lives and if you wonder why the apricots are there? Well the village started its life more or less thanks to big apricot plantations and everything was explained in the history museum.
