San Fransisco

On our second day in Northern Cali, we headed up to San Fran for the day.  My kids love the Pier so we had some clam chowder bowls and watched the boats come in off the bay.  We saw the seals and then checked out the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz.  I almost got tickets for the Alcatraz tour but knew that it would be chaos with Logi being so small and Owen not wanting to do a whole lot of walking.   

We grabbed some ice cream and walked around for a while and then left to meet Auntie Janessa at Delores Park.  That was the plan at least... but since parking was at a prime we decided to pick her up on the curb and go to a café to visit.  Since Janessa had a biology test we decided to head to the city college to drop her off.  My GPS took us on a long scenic tour around the city.. gorgeous!

We loved visiting with Janessa and the kids loved seeing their Auntie. 

On our way back to Palo Alto, we detoured to Half Moon Bay, but ended up stopping at Pacifica State Beach.  Owen was soaking wet as he played in the freezing cold waves and mud.  This boy of our loves the ocean!  Logan was not as thrilled with the freezing water.  Kam found lots of baby crabs for Owen and it was a fun impromptu stop at the beach. 

We headed to Stanford Mall in Palo Alto, in time to grab some Chipotle to go.  We crashed in the hotel that night and Logan slept for the first time ever, all night long!  I guess we wore him out.  That, or he just knew I needed plenty of rest before Owen's early morning Biopsy the next day. 

It was a fun trip and I'm glad we were able to spend some time together for fall break.  Sometimes it's nice to have a little fun during our frequent trips to the hospital.  I already received the call to schedule our next trip mid January.  :)
