A day at play

Where the heck have we been?
Funny how when I'm off work for the summer and have all this free time I can't seem to manage time for a blog post.  I've got some catching up to do!
We spent our last day of summer vacation (yep, our vacation is already over.  The boys started back yesterday & I started today) in San Francisco.  Our little trip was a last minuted idea and turned out to be a great day.  
We got a late start but made a quick stop at this awesome picture spot. Went to lunch at this great sandwich shop we hadn't eaten at for years - "Pluto's" if any of you are familiar with it - yum!  
Then we headed to the Academy of Science for an afternoon of exploring.  The place is pretty amazing.  They have a new earth quake exhibit.  You enter this "house" complete with wall hanging, china, fish tank & bookshelves and they simulate the 1989 (which Eddie & I clearly remember) and the 1906 earthquake. It was very cool and a great experience for the boys if they ever have to deal with one.   

 To bad the city was so foggy - still beautiful
 Cool fish feeding & coral show
It was a great day in the city.  We hung out with Grandma Sylvia on the way home and had a nice dinner together.  It was a great way to spend our last day off.

I loved every minute of it and Roxy riding in the back of my car was totally cool..surprised she didn't get car sick. The boys and I were breaking in G'ma's new ride.
Love y'all,
