San Francisco and Carmel

We arrived home, yesterday, from a week long excursion to San Francisco and Carmel to visit the Drum family!  We always love our time up in Northern California.

San Francisco
We arrived in San Jose on Monday afternoon and drove up to San Francisco to visit Ashley, Mike and Elle.  After a great meal on Monday night and an even better sleep, we ventured out to Alcatraz on Tuesday morning.  J.T. was a little afraid of getting on a boat, but by the time we left, he wanted to sit up on the top in the open air!

Time to leave :(

Carmel - The Beach
It wouldn't be a trip to Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop's house if we didn't spend a couple days at the beach.  Personally, I was cold because the wind was really whipping.  It didn't seem to affect the kids at all.  Both wanted their suits on so they could run and play in the water.  BURRR!!!!


A little sand time before they hit the water

The cold finally hit him!


 Ashley's eyes are closed, but Mom-Mom looks great!  Better picture of Ashley later.


Carmel - The remaining days
We were also able to venture out on the days we didn't hit the beach.  On Friday we hit a local park and on Saturday we went to an airshow in Hollister.  Plus, a trip wouldn't be complete without some time outside in the front yard!


Denise the Menace park in Monterey.  It was a very cool park. 

 The kids loved this slide!

 Fitting!
