Thanksgiving Trip!

For our thanksgiving break this year, Ron surprised us by taking us to San Fransisco for a couple days. Since he travels alot for work he was able to get some reward points at the hotel he stays at each week. It was alot of fun. The first night we stopped and stayed with Ron's brother and his family. That was a fun visit. They live in Peteluma. That was a fun visit. We went to a mexican place for dinner and then went downtown and walked to the cutest candy store for dessert. I can't remember what it was called but it had everything from old fashioned candy to ice cream, pretty much you name it and it probably was there. It was so cute. Kaeryn and Tristan and Jaxen had so much fun playing with their cousins. Jaxen was in heaven because his cousin had a huge box of cars that he shared with Jaxen. The entire kitchen table was covered in cars. It was cute. It was so fun to see them and we are hoping to get together with them again before they move to New Jersey next year.
They next day we made our way to San Fransisco. We were in the direction that we were going to cross the golden gate bridge. Cassie had told us that their was a road you could take that was right before the bridge where you could get some really cool pictures of the bridge. So we decided to take the road and see what we could see. I'm not sure if we were on the road cassie told us about but we did get an awesome view and a neat adventure out of it. It was a little foggy so I didn't get out to take pictures of the bridge. I'll have to do that another time. Instead we kept driving on the road to see where it went. It was a mountain road and it drove right along the shoreline of the bay and ocean. It was really beautiful.
We saw a light house and decided to drive and see it. We ended up finding some world war 2 bunkers. We got out and explored them. Kaeryn and Tristan asked alot of questions about what happened and what they were for. Luckily Ron and I love history and could answer their questions.
It was really fun to see them climb up and down. You really had an amazing view of the ocean from up there. It was also neat to see a part of history. You could also see all the baraks that are still there.
