Summer Vacation to San Francisco

After our time with Todd's family we drove to San Francisco for a family vacation. San Francisco is such a fun city to drive to with kids because any time you cross a huge bridge to get to a destination there's a definite "we made it" kind of excitement. Our kids were thrilled when we crossed the Bay Bridge from Oakland to San Francisco. The next day we went across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. The kids thought the Golden Gate was so cool and wanted me to take pictures from every angle. We had a family take our picture in front of it and as we talked we found out that they are from the same city as us. Such a small world.


We went to Pier 39 to see where the sea lions hang out. We saw one sea lion apart from the
group and the kids decided that he was in time out. Gotta love how a child thinks.



Getting ready for their first cable car ride.


One of the highlights was going to a Giants vs. Dodgers game. The Dodgers got swept that weekend, but it was still so fun to be at the beautiful Giant's stadium overlooking the San Francisco Bay. I don't think my little Dodger fan will ever forget it!


This was such a fun vacation. Other things we did while we were there were Lombard St. (the crookedest street), Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli's (can you really pass up a famous chocolate shop), and a cool children's museum called Zeum. Here we got to make our own claymation starting with the clay figures all the way to the storyline and filming.
