The San Francisco Treat! II

Well, our trip kicked off like this: Colleen sits up in bed at 3:55am Thursday and decides it's time for the drive North to begin! 4:23am: kids loaded in car and Tim sends us on our way.

This is the only "en route" photo I snapped... Dylann chewing on a McDonald's straw, Davis complaining his shoe is falling off.


Though you'd think otherwise from this pic, the kids were A-mazing. Just 2 quick stops, lots of movies and one teeny incident with dog poop at the rest area... ;) 7 hours later we got to the Workman's house and the kids quickly got Taylor to help crib bounce their crazy out!


Staying with Sarah and Dan in San Mateo was a treat - Homecooked meals, tons of toys and lots of littles looping through the hall. Toddler Taylor is SO smart, seriously! And such a good sharer! Davis loved on her day and night and these two made fast friends :)


Sarah took us to the japanese gardens in San Mateo and we played at all the parks. She was such a trooper - 6 months pregnant and ever the hostess! We were treated to a visit to the Academy of Sciences and then.... The true highlight of the trip for Davis: THE RED BRIDGE! He talked about it for weeks and asked every single day when he'd see it and son, you surely experienced that bridge to the fullest!


We saw it from afar!


He saw it from below! He hiked near it!



Dylann even posed with that crazy bridge!


And stood with it!


And then we drove the car over it...


And a perma-grin was smothered on his face!


And then, the second most exciting thing happened on the trip... Dada came! Just in time for the LONG drive home :)


This pic kills me because it sure conveys how we all felt by the time we reached LA. Right around the airport, Davis exclaimed "You will never leave this car!"


Luckily we did finally leave the car, and man that drive was worth it!
