Day 1-San Francisco

Finley's First trip in an Airplane. He loved seeing all the teeny cars.

Meadow loved riding in the airplane, but she loved her french toast stick better.

Eating cupcakes on Powell street.

I promised we could get cupcakes at cute little cupcake store we had walked past if they would let me do some more shopping. We are sitting outside the H&M store. Nothing like a little bribery.

Tadich grill.

I am not a seafood lover, so this wasn't one of my favorite places. But Chuckles and his buddy/co-worker loved their Cioppino(sp?) To me, it looked like what came out of our kitchen disposal. I had pork chops-the kids had Subway.

SF Trip

So, let's begin.........We had so much fun it wore us out, here is the proof.

Smooshed on a bus surrounded by tons of people and a crying 1 year old and yet he could still sleep.

exploritorium wore her out.

yes, that is drool.

Pictures of what wore us out to come soon.

It's what fun is......

LAGOON!
We splurged and bought passes to lagoon. Our first trip was last Saturday, even though it was raining and cold. I am glad we decided to still go because when we got there the storm had cleared and the sun was shining. It was a perfect day, no lines, not to hot, not to cold.

i love that this little girl is peeking over to see Peanut laugh.

Meadow had fun watching the kids ride the rides.

Fin being so brave and quickly raising his arms as the ship reached it's peak. luv it.

Finley has now graduated to professional chocolatier

we just need to teach to stop licking his fingers, but who can resist? I know I can't.

Wow, it has been a long time! Do you want my excuse?? If you know me I have and excuse for everything right? My excuse this time. I am lazy, that is all there is to it. Well, I am lazy and the fact that I gained like 4 lbs. overnight, yes overnight. Don't know how it happened, maybe my scale was broken and it was giving me a wrong reading all along. I was waiting to see if it would break again and start giving me the lesser weigh again-it didn't so here we go again. My loss last week was.................................Minus 1 lb.

My loss for this Wednesday is.......................................Minus 1 lb.

I have realized it is alot easier to post losses than it is to post gains. _duh_ of course it is. Who wants to admit they gained weight. So I am going to try and be better and just swallow my pride.
