We headed up north to San Francisco this last weekend for my cousin Max's wedding in the Oakland Temple.
We were "caravaning" up with my sis, her hubby Kang & my mom. Trying to make the most of the short weekend=long drive, we decided to stop in Pismo Beach half way up california thursday night.
The kids are ready for the 4 hour drive....the movies on....its road trip time!
We found this hotel online and crossed our fingers it was as good as the website said. If you want an amazing hotel room for your whole family to fit in --this is the place.
Pismo lighthouse suites.
2 connecting rooms for the price of one with ocean view!
When we stay in a hotel the bed is a HUGE deal to us...and this one was one of the BEST!
We got up to play around the hotel for a little bit before we had to get on the road again.....Kang and Craiger having some fun....
Nice try at a cute pic right :)
The sacrificial mouse....not quite sure what was going on with poor Mickey.
We didnt want to leave!!!
We drove down to the Pismo Pier and Uncle Kang bought Paige a "lilo" ankle braclet in HOT PINK!! it made her day!
Trying to keep this top heavy kid from taking a spill off the pier. He was so sick with a nasty cough but was SO good the whole time you wouldnt have even known.
He did end up falling at the end of the pier walk as we were almost to the car....sliding his poor forehead along the asfault and sand-thats gotta hurt!

Made it to Rainy San Francisco....entertaining themselves on the spinny chair in the hotel room.
His newest Trick....love this kid!
Saturday was the wedding....we headed up to Oakland. Since it was drizzling the kids hung in the visitors center....

Oakland Temple....and we didnt get a picture of the bride and groom. Nice. :)
Cute fruit plate at the reception.
Craig had never been to San Francisco, so I kept telling him how pretty it was and we would drive over the golden gate bridge and blah blah blah. well we had yucky weather and this is ALL we saw of the Golden Gate Bridge (from the Bay bridge). Oh well. life goes on right.
So we headed down to Fishermans Wharf to see the crazies and eat a little seafood!

Craig making a new friend.....
The BUSHMAN. Apparently hes a "legend". Hes definately entertaining.....we watched him scare people for about 20 minutes. Why does that never get old!? :)
and we found MASON street! :)
Paiges favorite part of the trip.....the sea lions. Just like sea world without the cost, right.
Paige is the craziest kid youll ever meet when it comes to food.
The next day we headed home.....the dreaded drive down the 5 fwy. 
Seriously-it looks like this for 5 hours!!! insane.
They were amazing!!!
And then the natives were getting wrestless....once we got into the last 45 minute stretch it was "mom how much farther i want to see my friends"
So to keep her ( i mean her and I) occupied we started just taking pictures......
We were so happy we were able to go up to Sf and play with family that we hardly get to see! See some sights weve never seen before. Have some good quality time together and get away from "real life" for a little while.

Paige is the craziest kid youll ever meet when it comes to food.She wanted the Jumbo shrimp coctail for dinner.
My mom ordered Clam steamers for an appetizer and she dug right in not even knowing what they were and LOVED them...and ate my fried calamari.....shes awsome! :)
The next day we headed home.....the dreaded drive down the 5 fwy. The kids were fine...movies, naps, books, coloring......
It was me that has the ADD issue.
These are the 2 things that kept me sane.
Internet on craigs phone.....who knew how fast 7 hours is when I can read blogs all day in the car! :)
& GUMMY WORMS!!!!!!!

And then the natives were getting wrestless....once we got into the last 45 minute stretch it was "mom how much farther i want to see my friends""do you think they missed me?"
"do you think taylor will be excited to see me, ive been out of town so long!"
"where are we"
and the best one of the weekend..........
"what do you think Jesus eats for Breakfast, cheerios?"

It has been 7 years since I have seen the bushman... I wonder if it is the same crazy man... Thank you for making my day with that picture.
Looks like you guys had a great trip. If you ever come up North we should meet up in San Francisco it is only about 2 hours away from our house.
looks like fun to me......
That looks like so much fun! Did you hit the cinnamon roll store next to the pier? I was so proud of myself for resisting that place when I was up there! But now I wish I'd had one!!! They looked so good! :)
what a fun trip. looks like a lot of fun.
We love roadtrips...this one really looked great.
