The Last Horrah!

The weekend before school started we decided a quick getaway would be fun.  We let the kids give us a few ideas and then opted for a trip to Monterey and the Aquarium and then a drive up to San Fransico to see a few of the sites. While we had been to Monterey before, we had never taken the kids to San Fran.  We set out on Friday and had a great time.  Noah loved the fish and Josh was so excited about all of it.  He just couldn't get enough of the aquarium.  Brooks and Ty loved it as well and it was fun to be together as a family. 





Noah absolutely adores his Daddy. He can't get enough of him. He follows him around everywhere and cries when he leaves the room. 





 On Saturday we headed into San Fran.  Our first stop was Candlestick - you know home of the 49ers.  While we couldn't go in to take a look around, we still got a picture.




Next, we hit AT&T Park, where the Giants Play.  They actually have a children's park inside and on most days it is open to the public FOR FREE.  We took advantage and had a look in the open areas of the stadium and then had some fun at the park too.  

Did you know the big Coke Bottle actually has a whole bunch of fun slides in it??? Neither did we.


Yep, here is the proof one of the slides.

This Trolly Car is in the Stadium
They also have a mini-replica Stadium for the kids to play. The kids and Steve thought it was awesome - it was! 

After heading down to the pier, checking out the seals and having some yummy Chili.  We walked up to the Ghiradelli Chocolate Factory.  We couldn't leave without having some delicious treats, A Banana Split, Rootbeer Float and A Sundae were the perfect way to end the day!
