After we got the truck unloaded and some of the essentials unpacked and put together, we really wanted to spend some quality time with Kiki and Grandpa before they had to leave. So we headed up to San Francisco for the day.
Grabbing some breakfast before getting on the road.
Our plan was to go the aquarium for a few hours and then hit up Fisherman's Wharf for lunch. But when we got to the aquarium and saw how expensive it was, we opted not to go since it wouldn't be worth it for the few hours we were planning on spending there. Well, we were in a bit of a pickle since we had been talking about going to see Sea Creatures all morning to Aiden. We HAD to find some sea creatures! So God smiled upon us and brought us to this little pond on the grounds and we made the biggest deal about looking for Sea Creatures. Sooooo lucky for us that there were turtles swimming around and some small fish. We got lucky with that one!
I've never been so happy to see a turtle in my life! haha :)
The kids really did enjoy themselves, and one day when we have more time we may try the aquarium again...but for now, we're all about the "free" pond and turtles :)
Then we walked some more around the gardens and came across these huge leafy plants. I was hoping for a great picture of them, but they're not always the most cooperative when it comes to taking pictures.
After the pond and the gardens we drove up to Fisherman's Wharf for lunch to the restaurant Micah and I went to when we came out in May looking for housing.
It was a great day and the boys got to see a little more of what California has to offer. It's definitely different out here! We're really starting to experience new things and having a good time along the way.

Giving the boys some coins to give the street entertainment. Of course Aiden didn't want to have anything to do with the robot guy. And yes we saw the man scaring people behind the fake bush again! They weren't too keen on him either though...
