Family Trip to San Francisco

When I was younger I vowed I would never go on a family road trip ever again. Growing up we made many many family road trips. I have had my fair share of being car sick, puked on, and having to pee so bad I thought I was going to explode. This road trip was no different, the only difference is we are just older and a lot bigger. Also our car tv is not like a giant box sitting on the bucket seat with a vcr, but instead a little portable dvd player.

We went to San Francisco for a cousin's wedding. The wedding was really pretty. It was at a hotel that was right on the wharf.

Here is Austin and Cody sitting in the back seat taking in San Francisco as we cross the Bay Bridge.

Are we there yet??


The first day that we arrived we went to Alcatraz island. This is my mom, me, and my brother Cody on the fairy ride over.






I'm not sure where I am looking in this pic. I'm pretty sure I was probably staring at someone's dessert

I have been to San Francisco 3 times now, but this is the first time I have ever been over to the Cliff House Ruins


I warned him! that if he did that I would post his picture on the world wide web.

This is some of the remains of the pools that were fed by the ocean. It was pretty neat to go into the gift shop and see some of the old photos of what the original Cliff House's looked like and how big they were inside.

Overall the trip was fun; and although being in the car that long is miserable, I do enjoy the memories that I gain from such torture. For example stopping to get gas after midnight and the inside of the gas station was closed. So Cody and I ran across the street to another gas station just to find it closed. There was a Jack in the Box, but only the drive through was open. My mom had to drive us 15 minutes out of the way to find a Wal-Mart, but we got there just as they were telling us they were closing. What??? Wal-Mart closes. Luckily they let us do a mad dash in and take care of business. Or there was the spot in the trip where I was in the backseat with Cody and Austin and Anthony were in middle seat. Cody got my attention to show me Anthony rubbing his leg. We started laughing, no wait giggling like girls, it was so funny at the time. Anthony thought he was rubbing my leg.
