San Francisco

We arrived in San Francisco at around 11:00 am. The 7 hour drive was not bad at all. Grace was seriously an angel in the car. She slept for a couple of hours in the beginning then we turned on a movie on the portable DVD player. Then it was time to stop for some breakfast and she ate like a pig. Back on the road we sang songs, played with some toys, took turns hiding under a blanket (for some reason this is hilarious to her), we looked for different things out the window (there was a strech of the drive with lots of farm animals to spot), we colored, and we ate snacks. Upon arriving at Gramma's house Grace was so ready to get out of the car and Gramma was very excited to see us. We spent the afternoon relaxing and we opened a few presents from friends and family who had dropped them off at Gramma's for us.




The next morning we headed out to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf. It was pretty chilly from what we are used to in Southern California, it didn't get out of the 40's during the day. We rode the carousel and looked at the seals then got a traditiona; San Francisco lunch of Clam Chowder in a Sourdough Bread bowl and crabcakes, YUM!

The rest of the week was spent visiting friends and family and spending lots of time with Gramma. It was a nice trip. We left at 4:00 am on Sunday morning and we were home in San Diego by 2:30 pm. We made a stop at my mom's in Corona to rest, eat and pick up all of the Christmas stuff we had left there. It was nice to be home.
