SF part 2

After our day of being tourists we got a babysitter and went out for the evening sans kids. We had some FABULOUS pizza, even if we did have to wait 3 hours for it and some yummy ice cream. Unfortunately Aaron was feeling really sick and didn't get to enjoy the evening much.

This picture is terrible, I have the worst roots! But it is the only proof of our date night, we stopped at the painted ladies, the "Full House" park for a photo op.

The next day we headed out to Muir Woods which is just outside the city and is a real redwood forest. It was really cool! The kids liked running around.

They were so tall!

Climbing in the hollow log

This tree was so big we could have stood inside

Brady insisted on walking instead of being in the stroller. He also still thinks that since I crouch down to take his picture, he should also crouch down. He does that and says "Cheese!"

And the best lesson of the day: this is what happens when you don't listen to your parents, you fall off the path into stinging nettle!

After Muir Woods we decided to hit the road. After some debate we decided to take the 1 down the coast home. I'm glad we did, since I'm not sure that we'd have another opportunity to do it ever and it was very beautiful. I did, however, get pretty sick from all the winding roads and although we thought we were safe since the kids had slept most of the way, when we stopped for the night in San Luis Obispo Zach threw up ALL over the hotel room bed. It wasn't exactly the most fun night.

Beautiful views from the 1

Other SF memories that were not photo documented:
1. Pie shakes. no joke. They take a HUGE slice of pie, shove it into a blender with ice cream and viola, a very delicious and calorie laden shake.
2. Running. Liz and I went on some AWESOME runs through Golden Gate park, down to the coast, etc. It was so beautiful and I loved getting a running tour of the city.
