At the beginning of the summer, we made a list of family goals for the summer. One of them was a day trip to San Francisco. With time running out on our summer vacation (the first Clint has enjoyed with us...yea!!), we decided it was now or never.

We started out at the SF Zoo. It was a nice, medium-sized zoo and we saw everything in a few hours.
 |
| Why, hello, chimpanzee. |

| Ignore the woman behind the light post. I promise she's fully clothed... this was just the best shot of Autumn. |
After a picnic lunch (in the car...we were too hungry at this point to wait for our picnic spot), it was off to Golden Gate Park, where we rented pedal boats and graced (haha!) our way through the pond for an hour.
 |
| Proof that J & M were, at one point, enjoying the pedal boat experience. They were definitely ready to be done after the hour was up. |
 |
| Amazingly, Asher just sat still for the boat ride. NONE of my other 2 year-old boys would have been content to just LOOK at the water! A tender mercy for an older mama. :) |
Finally, we ended up at Fisherman's Wharf. We filled our bellies with sourdough bread bowls filled with steaming clam chowder, hit up the antique arcade, and then settled in for a 3-hour ride on a cable car (that may have been a mistake... we didn't realize what we were signing up for).
In all, it was a fun day exploring new sights and enjoying each other.
