So I had a wonderful time with my family while they were visiting here over the weekend. My sister and her boyfriend came up from Burbank along with my 9-year-old niece Mariah late Friday night and left Sunday morning. That basically gave us Saturday to enjoy and happily the weather was wonderful.

The only difficult thing about the weekend was that my cat did not like them at all and kept hissing and growling and even attacked. It was not a pretty scene, very terrible, and I had to close my cat off into the kitchen. We're thinking that she may have smelled my family's pet chinchillas on them and that may be why, since I've had many other guests over and it's never been an issue with the cat. I hope when Mariah visits again in a few weeks we can figure out a way to address this cat problem.

Again, the weekend was fun and Mariah and I had a great time playing at Nob Hill Park for most of the day. Can't wait til she comes up again.
