San Francisco!!!

While Grandma and Grandpa were here, we took another day trip to San Francisco! It was a perfect and beautiful day with 75 degree temperatures.

Us with Alcatraz, or "The Rock" in the background.

Justin had done some research and wanted to tour an old Navy submarine the USS Pampanito, which we also knew Ben would enjoy. So we got there and got ready for our tour.
It was so small inside, I couldn't even believe that 80 men lived in there for 75 days. I would lose my mind! I have never been so claustrophobic in my life.

Austin of course wanted to touch everything!

This is how small and skinny the hallways were!

At the end of our tour, some big waves hit and the submarine started rocking, A LOT!!! Ryan immediately freaked out and thought we were going under the water. He squeezed Patti's legs so tight I though they were going to fall off. Needless to say, he was ready to get out of the submarine...

as were the rest of us! Despite the small and confined spaces, the dingy smell, and the rocking, it was an interesting experience and a fun tour!

Ryan felt much safer on the anchor!

We checked out Fisherman's Wharf!

And Pier 39!Ryan was intrigued by the sea lions to say the least. He couldn't take his eyes off of them and has been imitating them ever since.He and I also took a ride on the carousel!
The boys then climbed onto Grandpa and Daddy's shoulders and we walked to Ghiradelli Square.

We ate some yummy ice cream, enjoyed the sites, then the boys wanted to play in the water.

We had such a great time with Grandpa and Grandma while they were here! Ryan was very sad the whole day after they left and kept telling me he missed Grandpa and Grandma! Please come back again soon! We love you!!!
