San Francisco

We had our first real family vacation, where it was just us and no extended family to visit. We really like San Francisco, so that's where we decided to go. We only stayed for 2 days, and believe me that was plenty long. Since having kids, I've noticed that being close to home is nice, somehow being at home makes it easier to handle grumpy children or whatever the kids decide they want to do to stress me out. I love the weather this time of year...it's jacket weather and I love jackets...which is why I want to move there...so I can wear jackets, who cares that it's so stinkin' expensive. Anyway, we walked around a lot, mainly from the hotel to Pier 39 and back again. Saw the sea lions, went to the zoo (free admission on the first Wednesday of the month), went to the Golden Gate Bridge and ate lots of yummy food at the Fisherman's Grotto. That was Jeff's favorite part of the trip. I had a lot more things planned but it's kind of hard because of the nap schedule and bedtimes.
