San Fransisco

We had a fabulous day in San Fransisco! It started off a little rocky because I was grouchy. We ate a delicious breakfast at the hotel and then I ran to the market with Owen to pick up lots of fresh produce for his blended foods. I decided to bring the Vitamix Blender on vaca with us... so much easier than packing all that food.

After a mid-morning nap, we headed up to the big city. We picked up Janesa (Carson's sister) at her new apartment and went to Pier 39.
We had a yummy lunch of clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls... a San Fransisco classic. Then we headed down the pier to find our friends... the barking seals.
You can see the Golden Gate Bridge in the background here. We decided not to pay the $6 toll and wait in traffic to see it again. We crossed over it the last time we were here... nothing exciting.
We had a great time with Auntie Janesa today. We miss her a ton and had so much fun playing with her in the city!
We stopped for Dryers Ice Cream which overlooks the harbor. Kamryn was dying to go here!!
Owen was pretty thrilled to steal my ice cream cone and call it his own!
Then we headed over to Lombard Street. Kamryn had no idea where we were going and so we took full advantage of the situation and freaked her out a bit. Small background story.. Kamryn hates anything fast, twisty, downhill, dark or that increases adrenaline.
This is the picture out my window as we came down the crookedest street in America.
This is the view from the bottom of the street when I jumped out of the car and ran down the hill to snap a picture before Carson got to the bottom to pick me up. Good times.
We had plans to catch a Trolly ride up and down the city, but we ran out of time. It just gives us something to look forward to on our next visit! When we dropped off Janesa, we checked out her totally awesome apartment in the city. It was time to head back to the hotel and get a decent night sleep. Owen has lots of stuff going on tomorrow at the hospital... I'll update on that tomorrow night.

Good Ole San Fransisco. I lived in CA for 12 years and only went there once, but had a blast when I did. That street made me so sick, I remember begging my grandparents not to do it again as they sat in the car and debated over it with my Aunts, cousin and brother. I think me looking green at the gills was enough of a reason not to do it again. I am jealous that you are in CA, but not at the doctors apts. Just know we are praying for all good news.

I look forward to more pictures and another update!
