Walking around San Francisco

Saturday, February 5, 2011



My friend Amber and I decided to go walk around San Francisco. So I picked up Amber from the B.A.R.T. (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and we traveled across the Bay Bridge to San Francisco.




Photos were taken by Amber since I was driving.
Safety First!! :D

After arriving in San Francisco the first thing we did was look for parking. 
We were starving! We parked by Union Square.


We then proceeded to walk to Fisherman's Wharf. It took us 2 hours!!! Up and Down Hills. Let me tell you my calves hurt!!!







Check out the hills we just climbed!!!

Our reward:


We finally arrived at Fisherman's Wharf and Lunch 
(we were starving when arriving in San Francisco!)

Fried Calamari

Amber at Boudin Bakery at Fisherman's Wharf

Me at Boudin Bakery at Fisherman's Wharf

Crab and Corn Bisque, Fried Calamari, and Clam Chowder in Sourdough Bowls
YUM!

Our view at lunch:

Alcatraz



We wandered around the area found Ghirardelli Square.

We got some chocolate!


We spent most of the day out and having fun!

When I got home I was greeted by Evan running up and waving and
Carter opening up a blind and yelling "HI!"

Quite a greeting!

Stronger Stomach

Friday: Beautiful day so Evan, Carter and I get out the stroller and walk to school to pick up Allie. We decide to drop off Allie's backpack and get a snack then go for a walk before going out to dinner. We get back to the house and get the kids a snack and next thing I know Evan throws up. We think he choked and threw up as a defense.

Saturday: Beautiful day went to San Francisco with Amber. (More about this later)

Sunday: I went to church and a Super Bowl party in Oakley, CA. I get home to Pebbles (the dog) having thrown up due to getting into and eating something she shouldn't have. The kids were taking baths/shower.  Allie was getting ready for bed and complained that her stomach was upset and not even an hour later she was throwing up. Carter joined her within the next hour.

Monday: Carter choked on jello and threw up.

So the past 3 days have been very trying to me and helping me develop a stronger stomach!

Nap Time

 Today after giving the boys their milk for nap time I went in to check on them and take the bottles away. A few minutes later Carter starts to cry, so I go in and check on him. He is standing up in his crib and when he sees me holds up his arms and laughs. He didn't want to lay down. So I laid him down and patted his back until he settled down! lol Usually its Evan who won't sleep!

oops!

So I set up this blog a few weeks ago but forgot to write in it!

I have been in Martinez for four weeks now and I really love it here. I do not miss the snow in Kansas right now at all!!! I've been to see the Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland Zoo. I have tentative plans to go and see Alcatraz in the next few months!
