James planned a little mini-vacation for us on the sly! Sweet, sweet, sneaky husband! We were only there for 3 days but we had soooo much fun!
See how many clues it takes you to figure out were we went!
Clue #1
We stayed in our home state of California, but we flew on an airplane. This was Peyton and Ella's first plane ride, so it was a super big deal!
On our plane ride we saw typical plane stuff:
And The Simpsons:
And a storm a-brewin':
Pretty cool, right?
Clue #2
Our hotel room had this view (hmmm...is that an island back there?):
Clue #3
We took a tour of a submarine:
I'll tell you, every single time Peyton came home from the school library last year, he either had a book about skateboarding or some sort of warfare - aircraft carriers, battleships, tanks - you name it. So seeing the inside of a REAL SUBMARINE was really cool!
Clue #4
We walked down a really, really curvy street!
Clue #5
We went to the best smelling bakery in all the land - Boudin Bakery:
And we ate in their restaurant. And had clam chowder. In a sourdough bread bowl.
Clue #6
We went to an Aquarium where we got to see all sorts of sea life, like Sharks and Sea Stars and Sea Nettles:
And why the H E double hockey sticks does a sting ray need to look like this? It's just creepy!
The Aquarium also had some really useful information in their women's restroom:
Clue #7
We went to a Fisherman's Wharf where there were lots of sidewalk food stands:
And we had dinner at Nick's. Lobster bisque. In a sourdough bread bowl.
Clue #8
We saw A LOT of sea lions!
I love this guy:
You know what? Sea lions are SUPER STINKY.
Clue #9
We took a bay cruise and saw this island close up:
And this bridge:
Did you figure it out yet?
Here's the final clue!
Clue #10
We spent $15!!!
(On this souvenir picture. Totally worth the money because I love this picture!)
How many clues did it take you? :)

ReplyDeleteOh, and I just had to type in that word verification code thingy to leave this comment :(
ReplyDeleteugh. I know. I had to turn it back on because somehow I was getting like 10-20 spam comments a day and it was driving me crazy. So lame!
ReplyDeleteI didn't need any clues because I knew before you did about the surprise trip, ha, ha! Your photos are awesome, Darcy, especially the storm from the plane! Glad you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you all had so much fun. I LOVE San Francisco too!! :) Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful pictures!!
