Sunday in San Fran

So usually when you travel, you want to see as much as you can, especially if your time is short.  But sometimes the best part of getting away, is not having to rush, get up early, cater to others - basically be a mom or dad.

So that's what we decided to do on Sunday - sleep in!  I have to say it was very indulgent for me especially to sleep in and then read in bed while I waited for Stevie to wake up.  No disturbances, no nagging, no requests for breakfast - just quiet.  Ahhh.

And then, to top off the indulgent morning, we went to brunch - just the two of us.  Ahhhh.

The famous Sears restaurant for brunch.

After brunch, we got one of the historic tram cars down to the waterfront again to look around and do some souvenir shopping.  On Sunday morning we walked over to the famous Ghiradelli chocolate factory and then around Golden Gate park.  We strolled out onto the long curved pier to try to get a good look at the Golden Gate bridge but the top half was shrouded in fog. 

Yes, it was that cold!

However, we did get a good close up encounter with a sea lion trying to glean any leftovers from the fishermen!

And that about brings our special weekend to a close.  A special thanks to Grammie for keeping the kids, even venturing out to the circus with them!  I know we all enjoyed our weekends.
