Family Vacation 2011 Day 1 part 1

So we just took a family vacation last week. The week before Scott was in Utah for work and the week before that he was getting ready for his trip so we hadn't seen him in two weeks. The vacation came at a perfect time. We have lived in California for three years now and there is so much to see. I have never been to San Francisco and Scott has only been there for work so this was on our "to do" list of places to go. We left at 4:30am on Sunday morning and drove up the 5 (the fastest way to get there) and made it to Muir Woods a little after 11:00am. Since we were cooped up in the car, we figured this would be perfect for the start of our vacation. We were a bit shocked to go from triple digit heat to the 60's. We don't even have much of that type of clothing. Ha. Muir Woods is known for having some of the world's tallest trees.

It was absolutely beautiful! It was breathtaking.

My boys on the bridge.

Now we learned a bit of a lesson. Don't wake William up at 4am. Check out his face!

a little later....

Still not having it....

I did finally get a smile when I told him we were going to see our cousins after this.

So off to the next part of our day, visiting our cousins and spending the day at Yerba Beuna Gardens. But first we had to go over the Golden Gate Bridge.
