Cousin Tamiko Visits

We had a nice reunion brunch today with my cousin Tamiko and her husband Rick, my sister Jocelyn and her husband Vicente. Tamiko and Rick  live near Santa Cruz and though that's not far we don't see them often.Tamiko is a cousin that grew up far away from all of us who settled on the west coast. She was born and raised in Hawaii. Today she brought over and shared some old family photos. We saw photos of Honolulu and the Kaanapali area of Maui in the 1950's. It was amazing to see places that are so built up now looking very untouristy, quiet and not built up. I also found a photo probably taken in the 1960's of my aunts sitting with the same gold miners at Knotts berry farm that Mike and I sat next to recently. Everybody must have photos of someone they know with those two guys! Lots of old family stories and memories shared today.
