San Francisco Trip

This was our girls' 1st trip to Northern California and it was also their longest road trip...

We left home on on Friday, dropped by Solvang and had a great lunch at the Andersen's, we also visited an Ostrich/Emo farm, this was our first close encounter with Ostriches and Emos! We stayed our 1st night at King City. Next morning we visited the Aquarium and the Cannery Row in Monterey Bay, we had our Chinese New Year eve dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Daly City; a town south of San Francisco. On our 3rd day, we visited the Marina area, Pier 39, the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street... We went to Chinatown in the evening and had a great dinner there. Lots of people set off firecrackers all night in the Chinatown, it was so loud! On the 4th day, we spent our last 1/2 day visited the California Academy of Sciences at the Golden Gate Park before driving all the way back to the Southern California. We got home safely before 9pm, it was a wonderful mini vacation!

Girls play day with Sarah

Today we invited Erica's classmate Sarah over to our place for a play day. The girls had a lot of fun with their friend, watched KungFu Panda, made candy necklaces, played Dunkadoos, ate lots of chocolate and went to Souplantation for dinner. We will try to arrange more play days for the girls.
