Hi,
I'm back from the San Jose Teddy Bear Show. I had a great time. I got to talk to Gail for a little while and said a quick hi to Donna as her table was hopping with business! The whole family came along and we made a vacation of it going to San Francisco for a few days to do all the typical tourist stuff. I'm glad to be home and the dogs are glad to have us home! I didn't get ANY pictures at the show. I hope that someone on Teddy Talk got at least a few. The crowd was small but seemed to be buying.
Hugs,
Alison
desertmountainbearGlad to hear you had a nice time, and there was some buying going on. Did your kids like their surprise bike excursion?

Joanne,
YES! We all loved the bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was the highlight of our trip. I have to say though, there is a learning curve to tandem bikes. My husband and daughter were on one and my son and I on the other. You have to be in sync or the bike goes a bit wonky and that makes it pretty difficult to get up hills! If my husband and I shared a bike, I think I'd probably be calling him my ex right now. I don't think bicycles built for 2 are the romantic image that most of us envision, more like divorce biking! It was great that we paired up with the kids. If you ever get the chance to bike the bridge, DO IT! But just be warned that tandem bikes take about an hour to get used to before you can enjoy the ride so you might just stick with single bikes. We all enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed the tandem bikes but my son did say I scared him a time or two dodging pedestrians walking the bridge. 
I'll have to post a picture of us once my husband moves them from his laptop.
Hugs,
Alison
