Trip to San Francisco

 Ryan and I have been talking for years about taking a trip for his golden birthday and we chose San Francisco! Its a quick flight and such a great city so I was excited to take Ryan and spend some quality time together alone. I also wanted to make sure it was very different from the trip Emmy and I took so we could create our own memories. Boy did we pack in a lot over a 48 period and had an absolute BLAST along the way! We are already planning our next trip together :) 





We took BART and didn't get lost this time. Ha!


Super cool hotel lobby



We walked A LOT! Until Ryan convinced me to rent us some electric scooters to ride around. I think that was that highlight for him :) 


Giants game! There were 7 home runs hit - it was an exciting one to watch 



The guy sitting behind us was probably the loudest in the whole stadium, we couldn't stop cracking up







We rented a Go Car and rode it for 3 hours all over San Francisco - it was SO FUN




Made some pit stops along the way








We even cruised down Lombard Street


A pit stop for an ice cream Sunday 


A little after dinner rest before we headed back out again







Beautiful morning our last day 


Until our next trip, Buddy....

Summer 2023 - Part 2

This past summer felt like it flew by faster than any other! Looking back, I guess we did a lot - time flies when you are having fun!

Blair and I took the kids to the water park 


They were into the zinc - owen looked like a clown part of the day. HA!



It happened to be part of Sesame Street land! 





Owen set-up a lemonade stand and made $46 in 1.5 hours!


We headed up to Pine Mountain Lake to see Jill and the rest of the family. It was beautiful and relaxing







The house was so cool with endless things to do!



Emmy's favorite spot 






LOTS of lake time - rafts, kayaking and paddle boarding 


Genesis came up with Julie and the kids one day - so fun





He was so proud to catch a fish!


It was so nice to see Zach and the boys too




The boys worked in the shop one day







Owen loved harassing Eli











Owen drew the whole 6 hours car ride!


Then lucky us we got to see Marc, Kristen and Ferne on the way home!













Lots of giggles between these two 






Owen has been really into his legos these days. He plays all the time, he's so sweet.


Squeezed in an evening beach trip just the two of  us!





Padres game before school starts!




HS Orientation 


School supply shopping 


And then a "hurricane" that delayed the first day of school 






Another summer in the books!
