San Francisco here we come.

The day after Thanksgiving we loaded the van and drove up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco. It was one of the most beautiful drives you will ever take. We hope to do it again some time soon. Here are a few pictures of our trip.





Sunset on the PCH







While driving on the PCH the sun set, it was beautiful.

Stops along the way







At one point in the drive both girls were sound asleep, and Ricky and I saw a beautiful place to a picture. There was a turn out there with lots of people to take our picture so we pulled over and got out, quietly shut the door and locked it. We walked maybe ten feet from the car and had someone take our picture. We were gone literally two minutes and when we got back in the car Annika was screaming and Bailee had this look on her face as to say "why did you leave me with her". Now each time we look at this picture we just laugh.

More stops along the way





Elephant Seals (not elephants MiMi) :)

If you look closely in the background of these next pictures you will see Elephant Seals covering the beach. Turns out they travel to this spot each year for two months to find true love, and then there gone. We were driving by when Ricky noticed the seals and turned around to get a closer look. It was really neat to see them in there natural habitat like that. We did not stay long because they smelt terrible.





Black Bear Diner





We stopped for dinner at the Black Bear Diner, and it was wonderful. The food was great and the service was too. It made me feel like we were in Gatlinburg Tennessee. Here are a few pictures.

San Francisco Bay





Silly in San Francisco







San Francisco was so much fun with lots of things to see and do. Here are a few random pictures we took of us on a trolley car and Bailee well, being Bailee.

Aquarium of the Bay





Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for dinner







We ate dinner one night at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. It was located at the end of the pier and we had a great view of the bay. It was alot of fun, but really loud!!

Alcatraz Island







The tour of Alcatraz was the neatest thing we did while in San Francisco. We learned alot american history and enjoyed the view of the bay as well. Bailee enjoyed the boat ride over to the island.
