Trip to Cali

I know I took a really long blogcation, but now I'm back! It's been a really busy couple of weeks since I returned from California so I'm just now getting around to posting pictures, but here they are!

Aidan, cheesing for me at a restaurant.


Bald Rock...saw this on the 8 mile hike to one of the tallest waterfalls in the U.S.



Another view from our hike...



We finally made it to the waterfall...



The waterfall was beautiful...well worth the 8 mile trip.


The next day we headed to the coast at Bodega Bay. It was VERY cold and windy. We didn't last long there.


Here we are. We just arrived (and are just about to leave!).


Aidan, looking for shells...


The Pacific coast was beautiful. We spent the rest of the day in Bodega Bay and Santa Rosa. Then we headed to San Francisco. This was along the Coastal Highway...



First, we went to the California Academy of Sciences. Aidan and Finley loved it!


We saw all kinds of fish at the aquarium...


Then, we drove down Lombard Street (the curvy street). I have never seen anything like it.


Finley, making a little nest back at the hotel...


We headed to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 to see the sea lions...so cute!!


Then we hit Chinatown...


Overall, it was an awesome trip to visit with my sister and her family. Can't wait to do it again!

Blogcation

The time has finally come for me to take a blogcation so that I can take a real vacation. Bright and early tomorrow morning, I'm off to sunny California to visit my sister and her family. I'll return from my blogcation in the middle of next week. Until then, have a terrific few days!
