We woke (early!) to another beautiful, sunny day! Amy and Erin came to our hotel and we all piled into the Forerunner and headed for Muir Woods National Monument. It was awesome to see all the really big, old trees. The kids really enjoyed seeing them and being able to roam free.
On the way back we drove up the hill above the Golden Gate Bridge for the magnificent vistas. We weren't disappointed as it was a very clear day and there were lots of sail boats out on the bay.
We went back to the hotel and then walked over to Fillmore and found a restaurant for lunch. We had brunch and then went back for a rest. The kids weren't able to sleep as they'd napped a bit in the car. We watched cartoons and rested up for dinner.
We met Amy, Erin and Erin's mom and friend in North Beach at an Italian restaurant. It was fine, but pretty low value as it seems to cater to tourists. We then walked through Chinatown with Amy while the rest of the group went to a coffee shop for dessert. Then we headed back to the hotel and got the kids down fairly easily.
It will be fun to post our pix when we return as we have some really good ones. We're having a wonderful trip and look forward to seeing Ben (my brother) tomorrow who is flying in with his friend. We'll see Amy and Erin's house and maybe do some laundry. Then we plan to go to the Easter parade in the afternoon. Sounds like another full day!
