San Francisco!


Paint the Crab at Joe's Crab Shack!


We took a drive to Alamo, Cali (just a couple exits from where we were staying). This is my Grandparents old house. I used to spend a couple of weeks every summer here! I wish I could have taken the family to the back and showed them the pool and golf course. Ahh great memories.


Lombard Street!!! Fun to drive down, not so fun going up the 90 degree hill up to it. I was driving and started having a panic attack that the van would flip over backwards. Apparently since moving away from Seattle I have developed major anxiety with steep hills.



Our windy sail out to Alcatraz! The picture on the left was all we were able to see of the Golden Gate Bridge the whole two days we were there.



Here we are all in some sort of confinement. I was kind of thinking Solitary Confinement didn't sound to bad for a Mommy every once in a while.

A few other pictures from the Rock. Love the one of Mike and the kids in this "thing" at the prison. Mike had to take his picture next to some criminal for his brother. (Im sure there's a personal joke in there someplace). And we found this pretty garden that used to be where the guards' families lived. Cant imagine raising my kids on Alcatraz.


Waiting on the cable car! We didn't actually ride one, but could climb all over one in the queue for our boat ride.


This is how we role!

We will be getting another stroller for Disney and...just to save us from all the whining. Yes our oldest are almost 5 & 6...but if it brings a little peace...then so be it!

Well, its 7:30 am on the first morning of a day in Disneyland...time to go wake the wee ones...You may be able to hear their screams of excitement where ever you are in the country.

Did you knock on G'ma & G'pas door to see if they'd let you look in the back? That's so cool that you stopped by, great memories for sure. It's making me tear up thinking about it.

The "con" is Machine Gun Kelly, anyone that's seen "So I Married an Axe Murder" will get the joke about Kelly and 6 other inmates..."This way to the Cafeteria!"
