We thought it'd be fun to take a little day trip to San Francisco. I really wanted to go to the Exploratorium since I hadn't been there since we moved to Northern California back in 1993 and Deke and Tyler had never been. This was actually Tyler's first time to San Francisco and he was beyond excited to go there. While we were driving over the Bay Bridge he said - "this is a dream come true!!!". Apparently its been a life long desire to cross over a bridge. You should of seen his face when he laid eyes on the Golden Gate for the first time!
Here are a few of the things we did at the Explratorium:
Tyler LOVED playing the drums!
FINALLY... a chair that is "Deke-sized!" lol
Deke drew a picture of me through a scope.
Tyler is making electricity here and if you look really close you can see it.

After the Exploratorium we walked around the Palace of Fine Arts
For dinner we went to Johnny Rockets where I had the most amazing peanut butter chocolate milkshake. I must recreate it.
And you thought the milkshake was my dessert, HA! We had lots of time left on the meter so we decided to check out this cute little cupcake shop down the street, Kara's Cupcakes.
On the way out we decided to burn some of those calories and walked down the bridge... well we walked, Tyler ran.
Bye-bye San Francisco, we shall meet again real soon!
This was too cute not to share - This is how I found the boys after coming back to the car from getting gas. I guess our day trip wore them out!
