The Golden Gate City

We had such a great time in San Francisco while we were in California!

We found a gorgeous spot to take pictures with the Golden Gate Bridge and then spent the day at Fisherman's Wharf. We'd done this once already, but it's such a fun place to be. It's busy and touristy, but for good reason!
We did lots of the fun Wharf things-
ate clam chowder (me-pizza, I hate seafood. I know, I know, I'm going to have to learn to like it!),
chased birds,
went to the aquarium,
spent time with the sea lions,
went on a beautiful boat tour of the bay,
took a gazillion pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge (breathtaking),
devoured hot-fudge sundaes at Ghiradelli square,
and overall, just enjoyed the atmosphere there.
Love it!

 Check out that Cheeto face-

 Oh! And Rob got pooped on (see right hand)- BAHA!

 This was the first time we've been to the Aquarium there and we loved it! 
Drake thought it was the coolest and pointed out all the sharks. 
 That night, Dad spoiled Mom & I with massages in Chinatown! Thanks Daddy!
This is what the guys did during that time-
(And don't feel sorry for them, they got massages the next morning :) )
 The next day was spent in Chinatown- such a cool spot!

LEFT: Grandpa bought several boxes of pop snaps that entertained Drake for awhile, even if it sounded like gun fire was going off around us the whole time. ha!
RIGHT: Dad also introduced us to the best Chinese I've ever had! We went there twice it was so good!
 I don't think I'm ever going to get sick of living close to San Francisco-

My "To-Do in San Francisco" list just keeps growing!

It is the most crazy, packed, loud, busy, BEAUTIFUL city!
I don't think I could ever live there, but I know I'm going to love living outside of it!
I don't know much about it, but I'm so excited for all the fun experiences we will have there.

And that's the end of our trip-
We said goodbye to Robby (sad) and headed home to begin the packing (sadder)!

P.S.- Rob and I were so, so thankful that my parents were there with us. They were so much help with Drake! And Mom was essential in helping us find a place. Thanks so much parents!

Lucy at first kept calling Drake, "Gogan (Logan), but then I kept saying Drake and now she is saying "gake, gake, gake" so cute! I loved looking at all the pictures especially the Golden Gate Bridge! So excited for you to have this adventure.
