San Francisco...Our Journey

Our Journey began at 3:00am on Tuesday morning as we awoke to get ready for our trip...we had to be to the airport by 4:30am. My sis and I stayed up until 1:00am...so going on 2 hours of sleep we were already exhausted!! The flight there was great...we were delayed a bit due to rainy weather in San Francisco...after a 3 hour flight and an interesting ride to the hotel we arrived about 10:30am to drop off our luggage and begin our day! 

Mel, Me and Morgan at Fisherman's Wharf

Morgan's fave attraction at Pier 39!

Boudin Bakery...YUMMY food here! Sourdough bread was all they served...and all the soups were in bread bowls!!

A few pics from around town...Coit Tower, A cute little restaurant in Castro, notice the clock...it says Time to Shop! That is my kinda clock!

Our trip to Alcatraz

Amazing journey through Alcatraz! So much history there! It was one of the BEST stops of the trip!

Beautiful gardens at Alcatraz.

Ghirardelli Square...another WONDERFUL spot!

Our nature views as we walked to the Golden Gate Bridge!

Crissy Field/Beach along our walk. We had lunch in their cute little cafe under the Golden Gate Bridge.

GGB...when we arrived there was no fog at all...as we walked across the bridge the fog increased. It took us almost 30 minutes, one way to walk across the bridge. It was very windy and cold up there!

Cute little aquarium...not worth the price...but worth every penny to watch Morgan explore all the sea creatures!

Another hot tourist attraction near Ghirardelli Square. Lot's of ships to walk aboard and explore!

We had dinner at a place called Tarantino's one night...YUMMY food and great service...Morgan got the ROYAL treatment of being able to go into the kitchen to thank the cook and box her own food.

She also got a cup of ice cream on the way out!

On one of our tours we were told this is the Rice-A-Roni street! 

We found a cute little garden after walking up to Lombard street.

Having fun in the rose garden.

Enjoying a ride on the trolley!

Lombard Street...the World's Crookedest Street.

This was a wonderful trip celebrating my sister's 29th birthday! Over the course of the 4 days we walked about 25 miles and took over 600 photos...we were true tourists' on this trip! :) The food was great, the hotel was decent, the people who were in charge of public transportation were horrible, the water was cold, and the attractions and sights were amazing!

One Sweet Girl

What a week it has been with Miss Morgan! We started off the week at the doctors office for a well check appointment. She checked out great healthy and continuing to grow perfectly! Then started the cough and runny nose...by Wednesday we were at the hospital. Morgan's breathing became very hard, fast, short breaths, after calling the on call nurse they sent us straight to the E.R.

Just waiting to be seen. It was super early so don't mind the bed head and pj's...this girl wanted NOTHING to do with getting ready this morning! :) After breathing treatments and x-rays the diagnosis came back as Pneumonia. 

She was such a good girl spending the day at the ER. The Pneumonia was caught early so we were able to treat at home with breathing treatments and antibiotics.

Morning breathing treatment! What a trooper!

After a long few days of getting better Grandpa decided Morgan needed a "Graaamps and Morgan Movie Date" Lately Morgan enjoys picking her own attire to wear...this was were Movie Date attire...

Purse on the shoulder, water bottle in hand, bear in tow and high heels on! 

Ready for her movie date with Graaamps!

So thankful she is healthy and feeling better!

A Quaint Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a day to celebrate the mom in your life that has done it all for you!

That is exactly what we did!

We enjoyed a nice lunch at a quaint spot!

Adventures of Grandparents....

My parents have always been there for me through everything I do...

From dance as a child,

to school performances,

my dad being the "Cheer" dad and always there taking photos at every event,

dance in college,

both college graduations of mine,

driving 3 hours to help out in my classroom for a Thanksgiving dinner with my class,

driving another 3 hours just to go to my ultrasound appointment,

helping us move a million times,

being in the delivery room when I gave birth to Miss Morgan,

and being the BEST grandparents my kids will know!

I certainly have received the jack pot when it comes to parents...and Morgan has received it when it comes to grandparents... They will do anything to put a smile on her face and make her laugh!!

Including:

hopping in the shopping cart with Morgan! Morgan wanted to ride in this cart so bad when we got to the store...so my mom took about 10 bleach wipes and wiped the entire cart down just so it was clean...then my dad started pushing the cart...spinning her in circles through the store, being silly the whole time. As we were walking out of the store my mom, who had this planned, hopped in the basket and Grandpa pushed them to the car. Morgan thought it was so funny of Grandma! (sorry for the horrible cell phone quality photo)
