San Francisco Fun



Last week Olivia and I were able to spend the week in San Francisco with our friends the Thomas Family.

On the way to SF we stopped in Denver and Olivia got to meet Jackson Shirley. They had so much fun playing in the airport and sharing lunch, we wish that his little sister would have been able to join us, but she was ready to meet the world yet:). We missed you too Heidi!

On Tuesday, my Mom met up up with us in the city and we took the kids to see the Sea Lions on Pier 39. Olivia and the boys had a blast. The sea lions were swimming and talking up a storm. The seagulls were pretty active too, lucky no one got pooped on. We then took them to the Aquarium of the Bay. The Aquarium was pretty cool they had 2 under water tunnels, 2 petting stations and lots of fish to look at. Both the boys and Olivia had a great time.

We then walked Fisherman's Wharf and rode on the merry go round. Olivia loved it and cried when see had to get off.

Then my Dad was able to get out of his meetings early to take us all to Ghirardelli Square for the best ice cream sundaes in the world. Thanks mom and dad for such a fun filled day. Someday I promise to take Brad to SF, it is one of my favorite places to go.

The next day Corinne's mom came with us to the Jelly Belly factory. The kids in enjoyed seeing how the jelly beans were made and I enjoyed the free samples at the end of the tour. We then had lunch at my favorite place, IN n Out. You can't go to California with out making a pit stop there.

We spent the rest of the day shopping at the outlets and at Corinne's Grandparents house. The rest of the week was spent playing games, which we totally miss doing with Corinne and Brian, and just hanging out. We had so much fun on our trip, but it was nice to come home and see Brad. Thanks Thomas Family for all the fun. We miss you guys!!!
