It's Who You Know.

A chief raison d'etre for our trip was, of course, Baba! As usual, Baba hooked us up with many fantastic play opportunities...

Baba actually holds the keys to the old Sierra Mountain Intermediate School ("S.M.I." to the O.G.s out there) gymnasium. Cougar Pride!

We dropped Baba's name and got in free to KidZone, where an exhibit on Africa held our attention.

We had wonderful visits with Grandpa Tom (above). It just wouldn't be a visit to Truckee without a barbeque at Tom's.

And Baba brought our old friend, Joanne, over to visit. She told us scary stories and spent some QT with Shu Mai.
