By Saturday morning she was feeling better so we decided to move forward with our plan. Rebecca had planned out each day for us so we could maximize seeing everything. We really played hard!!
Saturday June 9th-We drove in to SF in one car and parked at Ghirardelli Square. We walked through that square and then down to the Maritime Museum on the Water. We then went to explore some old boats, a cargo boat, a tow boat, and a sailing boat. Grammy had her parks pass so that saved on entrance fees. After the boats we walked down Fishermans Wharf to Bodens to get lunch. Matt, Wendy, and Dawson were in town because Matt swam the Alcatraz swim that morning so we met up with them for lunch, which was super fun! They were biking to the golden gate bridge afterwards and that sounded fun to Cruz so he went with them and the rest of us went to the Museum Mechanique. They had old time arcade games. Then we walked to Pier 30 to see the Sea Lions. We walked to get on the cable car but the line was long and Matt and Wendy had called to say they were done, so we walked back to Ghirardelli Square to meet up with them and have an ice cream sundae with Ghirardelli chocolate, yum!
BOUDINS
Ended the day at Ghirardelli Square for Games and Sundaes
SUNDAY JUNE 10th - We went to David and Rebecca's ward Sunday morning. The girls had matching dresses to wear. After church and lunch we went on a little hike right by their house to see the coast and the seals. We also walked down to the tide pools and hung out for a while.
We came back to Rebecca's house and ate dinner and then packed up some S'more stuff and went to the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay to do s'mores in their fire pits and listen to the bag pipe player that plays at sunset. I felt like we were in Ireland!
Monday we hit went crazy seeing San Fran. We started off by driving down the most zig zag street ever, Lombard Street. I have never actually driven it, so that was so fun. Then we went over to Coit Tower and went to the top of Coit Tower to see all around the city. I had never done that before either. After Coit, we drove down to the Embarcadero and parked and walked to the Exploratorium. It was a SUPER cool museum that we all LOVED but Cruz was in HEAVEN!!!! After spending a few hours at the Exploratorium we walked down the Embarcadero to the Ferry Building to get some lunch. Rebecca and Grammy got some food at the Cowgirl place but I took the kids to Gott's, which was super good Food. The Ferry building was fun to check out, there were all sorts of booths and little restaurants. After Lunch we walked back to our car and drove up to Union Square. In Union Square we got on the cable car and rode it all the way down to Fishermans Wharf. That was SOOOOO fun. Cruz even managed to make it to an outside spot on the trolley and Alegra got to go on the back platform. We ubered back up to Union Square and walked a bit of Chinatown. We were getting a bit tired at this point. We met David for dinner near Union Square and then made our 6:00 ticket time to the Ice Cream Museum. Rebecca and I had seen all these cool pictures from the Ice Cream Museum so we thought it was a must. The kids loved it but for how expensive it was, it was kinda a jock. It basically is famous because of Social Media. All the pictures in there look super good. By the end we were pooped, but on the way home I promised Alegra, so we stopped at the Pained Ladies houses, which she knows from the show she watched "Fuller House" that is filmed there. We went to bed tired but had SUCH a FUN DAY!!!
Painted Ladies
Tuesday we woke up and drove down to Monterey. All the other days we were squeezing into 1 car but since this was a pretty big car day we decided to split up. It took us about 2 hours to drive to the Aquarium. The Aquarium was sooo cool! We loved it. After the aquarium we drove up to Seabrite beach, a beach right next to Santa Cruz to meet up with Amy and Erin Watkins and their kids. By the time we got there we had about an hour to hang out at the beach. Then we went to Italian and Ice Cream in Santa Cruz. It was really fun to see the Watkins and be able to catch up. The Ice Cream place named Maryannes and I guess was kinda famous. I tried to find Cruz a "Santa Cruz" sweatshirt but I was a little late and a little tired. We had a nice drive back along the coast.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Jellyfish displays were so cool!
Wednesday-We piled into 1 car and drove to Marine County across the Golden Gate bridge to Muir Woods. We had a noon parking reservation, so we picked up sandwiches and ate a little picnic at the beginning of the Muir Woods. The Redwood Trees were amazing! After Muir Woods we took a super crazy road to Stinson Beach. Unfortunately, it was really windy at the beach so we didn't stay too long. We took the only other road out of Stinson Beach, but it proved to be more whindy then the road in. Poor little Pierce was in the way way back with Cruz and totally got car sick and threw up everywhere.
Thursday- We ran a couple errands for Rebecca and then I took the kids to get them out of Rebecca's hair so she could put her house back together before we left. I was happy she had it all back together by the time we took off for the airport. I took Farrah with me and Pierce napped and then Grammy stayed at home to watch him. The kids and I went to the little Half Moon Bay area and walked around the fishing boats and went into a donut shop and Mavericks surf shop. Before heading home we stopped at the park by Rebecca's home to play a bit.
We had such a fun, fun trip. We were all exhausted but oh so fun!
