San Francisco

Every few months Mike has to go up to Oakland for work. This time we decided it would be fun it we went up with him. We have been wanting to head up to San F rancisco for awhile now and it was the perfect opportunity since all our expenses would be paid for since it was a work trip. It was a quick trip, we left Monday afternoon and came back 24 hours later. The first night we went to Fisherman's Wharf and got some wonderful Sourdough Bread Bowls for dinner. We just enjoyed walking around the Piers and looking at all the tourist shops. I was even lucky enough to get a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Carmel Apple. Yummy! That night, as was expected, Emma had a hard time getting to sleep. I thought maybe now that she's getting older that she would do better, but it is just really hard for her to have us in the same room with her. She just wants to play and get our attention all night. She finally crashed a little after 11:00. Vivian was a real trooper the whole trip. The next morning we went to the San Francisco Zoo. We love going to the zoo as a family, and it was a beautiful day. We even were lucky in the fact that we got lost and it took us across the Golden Gate Bridge. (Nice $6 detour) While Mike finished up his work we took naps and then Emma got an ice-cream cone. I think it's a lot of fun that her daddy makes ice-cream for a living. It was nice to get away and we wish we could've stayed longer.

Me no likey the last picture...Yikes! :))
I can't believe our Vivi has teeth; it is crazy to see her grow by leaps and bounds in pictures, next thing I know she will be in school:).
What a fun trip to make, sometimes the quick trips are the best because you are more focused on seeing the stuff that is most important to you.

What a fun trip! I wish it was longer too, it looks like you were having a blast (regardless of the little sleep you were getting). Hooray for vacations!

I love fisherman's warf, but I have yet to try the soup in the bread bowl. I guess we will have to make a trip there some day. Love traveling with toddlers. It is so hard taking them away from their own beds and schedules. But it is still nice to get away.
