San Franscisco

So this last week we spent on a little trip to San Fran. Tyler had some work conference there and so we went with him and another guy from work. We had a really great time exploring the city. We would drop tyler off and then go out exploring. Here is calvi one lunch eating his happy meal. Cavlin was very friendly to mostly all the wrong things. He loved to share his food with tiny animals usually pesky dirty pigeons. He also made a lot of friends with homeless people and just any one we sat by on the bus or walking around. He is just so cute who could not say hi to him.
We found this park with this awesome water thing that was right by our hotel. This was his favorite place on the whole trip he played in that water for a long time and got all wet. We brought dad back to show him.
We met Tyler on a little break and here is his name tag stuck to the back of calvis head.

Calvin spent his 1st birthday in California. It was Sunday and we made him a jam sandwich with a candle on top. He thougth it was kinda weird but whatever. That is about all we did for his b-day but we did celebrate it more when we got back i will post that in a bit.
Here we are waiting to get on the cable car for a ride. That was one of my favorite things to ride. We got a city bus muni pass and we rode all kinds of stuff.
We got lost on our way to church but we ended up here Lombard st. the super crooked road. It was crazy but we had to walk up it to get where we wanted to be. It was a great view from the top.
We walked around the Golden Gate Park for one afternoon. I wish we had parks like that here in Idaho it was so big we barley got to see anything. Here are the boys at the Japanese Garden area.
Tyler had a couple days where they didn't have meetings on one day we took a ferry to Alcatraz Island. It was a really awesome experience. The view was amazing and we could have not asked for better weather for the whole trip. It was nothing but sunny clear skies the whole time we were there.
Here are the boys looking out at the Golden Gate bridge. It was so clear we were able to get an awesome view of both bridges and the city.
Here we are in the prison cells. They were really interesting to go see. It was a self guided tour where we just had headsets and just listened and walked where they told us to. It was really fun.
We went to the park and Tyler was drinking a Gatorade and Calvi wanted to try and he LOVED it as you can see he would not let go till it was gone.
Here are my boys like father like son. Tyler was on the phone and so calvi had to be just like him so they both were on the phone during dinner. It is pretty funny how calvin picks up on things like that.
One day we spent with my cousin Allison. It was really fun, we knew she lived in San Fran but we didnt know where and we ended up running into her husband at church. They lived only a 15 min walk from our hotel. It was so nice to be able to hang out with her and go to her house and have some space for calvi to crawl around. We went to a fun Chinese dance performace and saw some fun stuff. She also cooked us a wonderful dinner and tyler and mark met us there after their meetings.
On our last day there we went down to the piers and hung around there. Here is calvi loving the little beach we found. He was such a great traveler he seriously spent a whole week in this stroller and as long as there was something to see he never complained.
Here is Calvi on our way home at the airport. He loved to look out the windows and see all the airplanes take off and all the other moving things.

Here are the boys on the airplane on the ride home. Calvi did so good on the airplanes he had 2 both ways and he slept for 3 out of 4 it was so awesome. We had a really good time and saw so many fun things. But after a week we were ready to come home to our wonderful little quiet town.
