Our little weekend getaway

We just had to fit in one last little trip to the beach. We left on a Saturday morning and drove a few hours to Pacifica Beach-just south of San Francisco. It was sooooo cold! There were tons of surfers at the beach and it was packed! You wouldn’t know it was so cold by all the people there! The kids didn’t care about the cold and ran right into the ocean. They said the water was warmer than outside.

 

Sylvia didn’t last long in the water, she got out and laid flat on the sand and got all sticky and sandy. She didn’t like that feeling too much.Tessa and I just put our feet in-it was windy too. Julio took the pictures.I got one of him! It’s proof he was actually there. Tessa enjoyed playing in the sand.

Brrr.Grrr.After the beach, we went to our hotel and got clean and warm. The kids wanted to go play at the park, so I stayed and rested at the hotel while Julio took them. (I wasn’t feeling well).

The beach was right at the end of the street from our hotel. Julio took Lucia and Marco to see it.  We ate at a diner right by the hotel. We should have known when we walked in and it was empty that it wouldn’t be that good. I was right. The worst part was how expensive it was.

On the way home, we stopped at Treasure Island-it’s an island in between San Francisco and Oakland off the Bay Bridge. There is only a Naval Depot there, but we stopped to get pictures of San Francisco behind us.

Then we stopped at the Oakland Temple. We spent some time in the Visitor’s Center and enjoyed the beauty of the grounds. It’s been 9 1/2 years since we were sealed there. The kids loved to see the temple. It was a quick little trip, but the last one of the summer and it was worth it.
