Leaving san fran...

Two days of fun so far :) we woke up at 630 again and got ourselves down to the ferry station to catch the 8:30 ferry back to vallejo

Day 2 :)

So this morning we got up and out on the town to get on the 9:15am Alcatraz ferry. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!! We took the audio tour around the cell house. We stayed on the island for a couple hours...it was neat and interesting. Afterwrds we headed to Haight Ashbury by trolly!! Audrey and I stood on the outside step! It was wicked fun and got me excited for tomorrow ;) haight street was a lot of..... alternative :)... shops. We walked up one side of the street and back down the other the. Took the bus to china town and walked to north beach "little italy" and had dinner. Some fun shopping and great weather :)

Some shots from Alctraz

The pier

The hotel is a couple blocks from union square and china town. We dropped our things and changed and headed back down to the pier thinking we could catch the boat to alcatraz but it was booked for the night so we shopped around pier 39 and had dinner at bubba gump shrimp :) then walked down to ghiradelli square...awesome views. Everything is so tall....and old here :)

Dessert...

The crazy cab driver took us to union square where we went to the top of the macys building where the cheesecake factory is and ate on the patio :) yummo! Got to say goodnight to my kids ;) and then we walked the couple blocks back to the hotel...all up hill haha good workout after the cheesecake... and the fun continues tomorrow!!!

Girls trip to San Fran!!

Sue, Angie, Audrey, and myself planned a little trip :) I mentioned it to Renee on Easter and she offered her time share points to stay at the hotel in san fran and they had a room available so here we are! We drove to Vallejo this morning and took the one hour ferry ride into San Francisco. It was fun to see the city from the water. So beautiful. We walked a few blocks seeing what was around and then caught a cab to the hotel....I love how hilly it is!! I thought it was just a big hill but its so up and down! The cab drivers are crazy!!

We have challenged Abby to read 100 books...(her school did an off track challenge that we failed so we are trying again haha) .... so there are 100 buttons in the bowl that she gets to take one out per book :) we'll see how long it is until we make it to u-swirl. Day one!!

question...

So one of our latest food fetishes is edamame. Steamed in the pods in the microwave for 5 mins and doused with salt. Yummy!! :) So it was one of the side dishes with dinner the other night, and the question pops out of Dax's mouth...one that I'm surprised hasn't come out earlier lol

"Mom?..... Who's Eda?"

lol not sure if he has always though we were talking about someones Mame(mommy) but we all busted up laughing :)

Playdoh

I had the chance to watch my friends cute kids while she was at work, and we brought over our playdoh ice cream player and stuff to make playdoh. They all sat around the counter making ice cream sundaes and rolling out snakes :) good times
