I thought I'd share some pics form the San Francisco leg of our trip! We of course visited the piers at Fisherman's Wharf and saw alcatraz, the Sea Lions on pier 39 , visited the Bordin SourDough Bread Factory and got on the Trolley from Ghiardelli Square!  
We also took the electric cars to the Golden gate National Park where we visited the botanical gardens , Japanese Tea Garden and the kids' personal favorite: the KIDS PLAYGROUND! 
We stayed in the heart of Chinatown (this city is FULL of culture!- Little Italy, Russian Hill...) 
The streets are amazing! The hills are incredible. I don't know how anyone could build houses on these streets! 
We visited the Painted Ladies (the girls love seeing that on Full House!!!) 
And visited the beach... it is cold out there (didn't go over 65 degrees our enitre stay!!) BRRRRR..... Can you believe that sand dollars actually wash up on shore! 
and last but not least! I visited the FLAX art store! This is heaven for paper lovers... like me!!! There were over 9000 different papers and various other art supplies. I could live in this store. after waiting for 2 hours for me the girls finally dragged me our out of the store... not before I bought goodies and had them shipped home! 
While on our trip I read COME BACK (by Fountaine and Fountaine). a memoir by a mom and daughter about their relationship thru "hell and back". I really loved it. (I'm a sucker for memiors!). I recommend it for anyone who has daughters and/or liked GLASS CASTLES . (which is another that I loved!) well... I have more from our trip down the Pacific Coast Hwy and in Huntington Beach (Surf City!). Will share later! I am planning on getting some stamping done tonight. I am seriously jetlagged... I can't seem to get out of bed in the am! This morning was very hard... even the girls got up before me!ARGHHHH losing 3 hours is HARD!
