Our trip to San Francisco






We had a great time in San Francisco and Santa Cruz last week with my parents. Kiara really took the phrase "Take time to smell the roses" to heart and now has to stop and smell any flowers we see! She loved the sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf and all the fish in the aquarium, but I think her favorite part was chasing the birds around and "chirping" at them. I think she spent a good half hour running around and up to them. We went on a bay cruise and she tried her hardest to stay awake and take it all in, but eventually her exhaustion won out and she fell asleep on my shoulder. That is the best feeling! On Saturday we went to the beach at Santa Cruz and had a great time. Kiara loved the rides and was much more daring than we expected. She was 2 inches too short for the "Puff the Magic Dragon" roller coaster and was not happy about it! She got over it though when Ben took her on another ride and she got to go high in the air. I think she just might be more brave than her mom! When we went down to the beach she was excited at first but as soon as a wave came in and made her feet sink she had had enough! Eventually she calmed down but was only happy if one of us was holding her. She did love the seagulls though! We had a great weekend though and I think it was probably my best birthday ever! Plus Kiara didn't mind having 2 extra people around to spoil her rotten!
