Mom & Daughters Trip to Northern CA

The day after Jenna was out of school, the girls and I drove up north to visit Kevin and Beth.  Aunt Beth planned a cupcake tour in San Francisco a few months ago, and we were excited to go visit.  We spent the first day at a new water park near their home, then spent two different days in the city with a magic show, cupcake tour, sightseeing and shopping.  It was a great visit!

Thursday -- At the new water park with Aunt Beth 

Later that day Jenna and Uncle Kevin in the water

Friday morning -- Mani-Pedi morning at Aunt Beth's favorite nail place

Friday afternoon - The Palace of the Fine Arts as viewed from Baker Street (Sherlock reference needed a picture)

Cool Magic Show - Jenna was chosen for a trick

 We drove in to the city for the magic show.  We walked the Golden Gate as well as walking around the wharf area where the theater was located.  Heather and Jenna did some souvenir shopping too.  These are Heather's p.j.s that she wants to use for a Halloween costume.

Saturday morning - Cupcake Tour!  We toured cupcake stores, a chocolate store and a gelato place.  Walking to the different stores gave us some good views of the architecture in the city.  I loved all the different doorways into buildings and houses.  Jenna is wearing her souvenir hat from Friday's shopping trip.

 Saturday afternoon - The girls spent time on the water using a pool as a raft.  Uncle Kevin's boat is pretty cool too.  The girls love visiting Alameda and their Aunt Beth and Uncle Kevin!

On Sunday we drove over to my cousin, Kim's, house for a couple of days.  She lives on the water about an hour in-land from Alameda.  The kids enjoyed Monday and Tuesday on the water, shopping at the outlets and going to a real drive-in movie (How To Train Your Dragon 2 and Maleficent).  We love cousin time!!!
