San Francisco

We took a fun day trip to San Francisco.  We decided to check out Golden Gate Park.  We were surprised at how big it was and how much there was to explore.  We didn't even make it all the way through. 

We found a fun park for the kids to play:

Rachel loved this stone slide.  You had to use cardboard squares to go down fast.

We found a little area with a sun dial and beautiful trees and flowers.  It was a great place to sit and read, which many of the visitors were doing.

This twisty tree was fun to climb.

We really enjoyed the rose garden - so many different varieties of roses.  And, of course, we needed to smell them all!

Right next to the rose garden was a beautiful foresty area.

After Golden Gate Park we had to find Lombard Street.  It was fun to twist down the street, but I think the kids had even more fun on the all of the really steep hills we drove to find Lombard.

We finished the trip at Pier 39 where we had dinner with a great view and then window shopped.
