On the 4th day we woke up and got around and headed out to San Fran for the afternoon…(and of all days to forget my camera… the day we went to the big city I left it at cassi’s house and didn’t realize it until we had been gone a good half hour or so.. so my cell phone had to make due..(I was NOT a happy camper about it)
leaving Tracy CA
little did we know traffic was going to be HORRIBLE that day (Wednesday) we left around 10:00 am so we thought we had beat morning traffic but the closer we got to the toll bridge we could tell it was still bad, what should have been a 45 min trip ended up taking a good hour and 45 minutes … brody was getting a bit irritated
finally we made it to the Bay bridge and got into San Fran!
we found a parking garage that wasn’t a fortune.. and by that I mean we paid $20.. (but most were up to $30 it was a bit crazy) and we found the Pier the first thing we needed to do was eat and I had planned for us to eat at The Rainforest Cafe
even though peyton has been before she was only 2 1/2 the past time so she didn’t remember it and was pretty excited!! and I knew brody would love seeing the animals move!
he loved the fish tanks!
but was afraid of the gorilla’s : (
I thought the one in downtown disney was big but I think this one might have been bigger (or at least close) it was 3 stories… we took the elevator to the 3rd floor and got to at close to the waterfall.. brody wasn’t aftraid of the thunderstorms that went off but he didn’t care for the gorillas at all!!
then it was time to walk the pier…we seen president Obama.. and LOTS of crazy people walking around! (as soon as we left the restaurant brody fell asleep in his stroller and took about a 30 min nap or so)
peyton loved this little store for left handed people.. it was great for her!
ryley was really interested in alcatraz.. and next time we will try to book a trip out to tour it!
we left San Fran close to 4 but got stuck in traffic again.. it wasn’t horrible but still not fun… by the time we got home it was close to 6 so we cleaned up and none of us were hungry (except the babies who of course didn’t eat much lunch) for dinner yet because we ate around 2 so we decided to run over to Lathrop (about 20 min away) to the Ghirardelli shop to get some ice cream we heard it was SO GOOD!
but before we got there we had to make a quick stop at MC Hammer’s house (which they had already been to a few times and have even met him a couple times since he lives just a couple miles up the road from cassi in the same small town)
ryley and bailey had to have their picture taken!
it was sooooooooo good!!
but rich so we all shared..(well except ryley) : )
later that night after the babies went to sleep a little after 9 pm we started to get hungry.. since we never ate dinner, so we had the idea in n out sounded good so cassi and I and the boys (ryley and sebastian) drove up the road to get some yummy burgers one last time… we had a little fun snapping pics while there!.. this kid was fun! : )
we got home, ate and talked for awhile then we were all beat so we finally got to bed around midnight.. but thankfully the next morning we could sleep in!
