2 weeks

A few pictures from our very fun tour and lunch at Facebook

 This is the first building on the campus.  It's like a small city.  They provide for every need their employees have; at least a dozen restaurants, dry cleaning, hair salon, gym, masseuse, bike repair shop, you name it.  But of course, they expect them to work 24/7!  But our friend Ben loves it!  He drives a Tesla, so I'm sure he is also paid very well.

 This is a vending machine where employees can enter their code and get any supplies they need for their job
 

 The walls in the office buildings have amazing artwork on them
 
 This is Ben, the MSA who works there and invited us to take a tour.  A really great guy!
 This is one of the Lego walls.  They provide the Legos and the employees can "draw" whatever they want on this board.  The largest one was so amazing, but we couldn't take a picture of it because there were workers there, and their screens are confidential.
.We then drove to Oracle's home base.  Dad wants to take pictures of all the major Silicon Valley companies.  He thinks the grandkids will be impressed!
 
 
We had another appointment that afternoon up near these places, and afterwards, it was about 5:00, and we didn't want to drive home at that time, so we went to a bird refuge up by the Bay.  It was pretty, but their weren't any birds!  We were hoping to see egrets, or something, but this must not be the season for them.  So Dad just took a picture of his favorite "bird"!
 


On the Monday before, we were having lunch at Costco while getting some pictures printed for my scrapbook, when a bunch of Elders showed up.  The older men in the background are a group that meets there for hotdogs every Monday called the "ROMEO" group.  "Retired Old Men Eating Out".
They buy the Elders their hot dogs if they are there at the same time.  Nice people, and very fun to talk to.  I think Dad will want to start his own ROMEO group when we get home.

Our temple day last week with Claudia was amazing, and we have another one today.  Such great experiences!  Love you all.  See you soon.
