Father's Day Weekend

For Father's Day weekend we decided to take the kids on a little weekend get-a-way. We spent Saturday morning at the Moore's having a fathers day brunch then loaded the kids into the car to head to San Francisco.

We took the kids to the Exploritorium. We had such a fun time. Charlie was so funny - he kept asking "is this going to make me smarter?" He loved all the experiments and hands on activities. He really loves numbers and science and just really enjoyed getting to try out all the different things. The girls had a great time too - even Audrey got into it and loved touching things and she loved the mirror exhibit they had - they had all sorts of lights and mirrors that displayed images in different ways.

After the museum we headed to the Wharf but it was so crowded that we decided to go to our hotel and check in. The hotel may have been 5 star according to priceline but the service was horrible!!! It was in an interesting area. It was right next to the TransAmerica building and bordered China town and the Italian area so we walked to a little Italian restaurant and had a great dinner.

We drove around after that and took the kids down the crooked mile and across the Golden Gate to a look out point. It was fun to do the things we remember doing with our family with our own kids.

Sunday morning we got up and headed out to the East Bay to find a beach to take the kids to. We ended up going to Stinson Beach and the kids had a great time playing in the sand and finally talked us into putting on their swimsuits - why I don't know I would have been fine in long pants and a sweatshirt but when you are a kid I think the water just calls you! They had so much fun swimming and splashing around.
