San Francisco

After grandma and grandpa left we headed up to San Francisco.

Our first stop was Ghirardelli Square.

Jay thought the fountain was the best.

And then he found out there was ice cream.

Here we are, waiting for our sundae.

It was awesome.

Jay was in heaven.

It took me about 10 tries to get that picture of Jay because our camera is slow. 

It kept taking the picture after his mouth was closed. 

I finally complained that I couldn't get a picture of Jay with his mouth open and Leo said,

"Here mom. You can take a picture of me with my mouth open."

Fisherman's Wharf

We took the tour of the WWII submarine.

Ty was actually thinking about being a submariner at one point in time, so he was especially interested.

The doorways were chest-high on Jay.

He had to really climb through each one and he loved it. 

Most of the walk ways were only as broad as your shoulders.

Even with only 4 of us I was feeling a little cramped.

I can't imagine having to live on one of this with 80 other people.

This is as close as we got to Alcatraz.

We went to see the sea lions on Pier 39 but the boys were unimpressed.

They preferred to climb all over this table.

Here's Jay just being adorable.

We spent one of our mornings at the Exploratorium.

Jay was fascinated by this giant bubble exhibit.

You can't see it very well, but they were getting some huge bubbles.

After that we went back to Ghirardelli,

and Jay got his head stuck in a chair.

He was really upset until the ice cream came.

We rounded out our stay with a very short trip to Golden Gate Park.

And a trip across the bridge.

On our way home we asked Leo what his favorite part was.

He said, "Probably riding all the buses."
