San Francisco

I have said it before and I will say it again - I freakin LOVE my family!!

Stephen learned first hand how fun it is to travel with his big sisters - poor guy! But Shaline and I know better than to take our purses and stuff into the nasty airport bathrooms!

Stephen - the quirky guy that he is - asked Shaline and I how we were able to get all of our bottled liquids (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc) through security. He thought the liquid restriction that is on carry on's is the same for checked luggage. So he put the bare necessity of his gel, shampoo, conditioner, etc into zip lock baggies. He honestly thought he got away with murder with how much liquid he brought. His face was HILARIOUS when we told him he completely misunderstood the rules.

My first time to San Fran and I LOVED it! It was nice to have Stephen and Shaline as my personal tour guides since they had both been there a couple of times
One of the funniest/random things - can you spot the guy??
Yep, that's him in the garbage can! He would pop up and scare people as they walked by! So funny!Stephen and I being the nerds that we are. He is holding up Alcatraz and I am taking in the cotton candy - one of my guilty pleasures! Tren would be so proud - I didn't buy a single bag!

My sister and me outside a sour dough joint.

We did a bunch of shopping! Lucky Stephen tried everything on - he was a good sport!

This guy would hide behind his 'bush' and pop out and scare people. Stephen took this picture and the guy got so mad that we got a picture of his 'bush'

Lunch! We had the most amazing clam chowder and crab! Plus our view was AMAZING!

I LOVED the architecture and design of the buildings. I couldn't get enough! Every building was so unique. I can't wait to go back!

And the whole reason we went to California - Stephen's christmas concert in Oakland. He did an OUTSTANDING job! The piano dual he wrote was AMAZING!

This was his piano dual side kick! He really did a great job keeping up with Stephen!
