San Fran, a smelly beach, and family time

Adams little sister, Eve, came to visit us a few weeks ago! It was so much fun to see her especially since she hadn't seen Daxton since her wedding last year! She flew in late on a Thursday night into San Fransisco so we didn't get home until about 2am. Friday we decided that we would just relax and hang out at home so that's just what we did. We played some games, went outside for all we could handle because it was so dang hot, and played with Daxton! It was really low key but much needed.

Saturday we headed out to San Fran to play tourist because Eve had never been! We actually stopped to see some things that I had never seen before either! We headed straight to the Golden Gate Bridge first. After we made our way through the clouds, we were able to get s few pictures but the sky wasn't clear at all so the bridge was kind of hard to see from the hill.

Then we headed to Adams favorite part, Lombard Street. Adam loves to drive down the super curvy road so we did it a couple of times. I just can't get over how crazy it is that people actually live on that street!! But the view is gorgeous!

I'm a pretty big Full House watcher and I had never seen the Painted Ladies, the row of houses they show in the beginning of every episode! So Adam humored me and took me to see them! They were reprinting one of them, but the others were awesome! They are right across the street from a decent size park area where people can escape the concrete and tall buildings of the city.

Next we headed to Pier 39 and Fishermans Warf. We were able to show Eve where Alketraz is from the Pier and how the cloud cover completely blocked the view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We ate some delicious fish wraps and then walked down through Fishermans Warf. It became a little misty while we walked, but not bad enough to go inside anywhere. 

Lastly as we got in the car and headed toward home, we spotted a tower that made us curious. We headed in the direction of the tower and eventually made it up there. We discovered it was called Coit tower. It was really interesting because the tower wasn't really used for anything. It was built by a family specifically to make the city more beautiful. This tower could be spotted from almost anywhere in the city! It helped that there was a beautiful view from the parking lot too!

On Sunday we decided to head to the beach! We tried a beach we hadn't been to before, and for the most part it was pretty good! It had an abandoned ship not too far out in the water so the beach was pretty smelly at first, but we all got used to it. I felt bad because Eve was used to the Carolina beaches where it's so warm and this beach was definitely NOT warm. She was all bundled up under sweatshirts and towels for the majority of the time. Haha! It was overcast almost the whole time we were there, but that doesn't keep Daxton out of the water! He was having a great time! He loves water no matter what temperature it is.

Monday we took her back to the airport. It was sad to see her leave but I'm so glad we got that time with her! Daxton loved seeing his auntie and it was so fun to catch up with her! Come again soon Eve!!
