We just got back from a weekend visit to San Francisco to see T.J.'s sister. Although it rained all weekend long, we had an absolutely wonderful time!! Our accommodations at the Omni Hotel were fabulous (thanks again Tina)! While there we put nearly 250 miles on our rental car .. we drove from Downtown San Francisco to Golden Gate Park, to the Golden Gate Bridge, to Salsalito, and back Downtown on Saturday. Ellie got to ride her first carousel at the Zeum Children's Museum - she loved it! Then on Sunday we drove to Palo Alto for church, then to Menlo Park to see Menlo College where Tina will be working, to Half Moon Bay to look for the Arata Pumpkin Farm (which we never could find but enjoyed some yummy Mexican food instead) and then back to San Francisco where we went to the Fisherman's Wharf. Ellie loved watching the sea lions and riding the "World Famous" Cable Car. Ghirardelli Square was definitely worth walking to!! We all enjoyed sharing a hot fudge sundae from the Ghirardelli Chocolate Shop!! Hopefully we can make a trip back on a sunnier weekend! Ellie loved seeing her Aunt Tina and all of the fun sites! Here are some pictures from our fun weekend!
