Last weekend we took a long road trip to Sacramento to go to Andrew's good friend's wedding. We survived the 11 hour drive with only two stops and Addie did much better than we did, I was bored as soon as we passed Vegas. The wedding was at the Sacramento Temple and Addie just could not resist playing in the water. The weather was perfect the whole trip, we kept forgetting it was January.

The next day we toured San Francisco on foot and cable cars. All Addie wanted to do was "ride the bus". She loved the cable cars and was not shy at all, she kept talking to the other passengers whether they wanted to listen or not. We walked around Chinatown, ate some lunch, walked around Fisherman's Wharf, and rode the bus back to our hotel.
Andrew wanted to get some pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset so we headed over there. We went on the other side and down to the beach where the waves were crashing into the rocks, it was so fun to watch and hear. We were trying to take some pictures and Andrew got to close to the water and lost one of his sandals, it was pretty funny. The water was way too cold and it was too dark to try and retrieve it. Addie was so concerned and started crying because of the lost sandal.
On our last day we went to Alcatraz, Addie loved riding the boat to the island. It was a neat tour and interesting to learn about the history of Alcatraz.
We decided we may not make it back here for a long time so we took the scenic way home on the Pacific Coast Highway. We drove down the coast to Pebble Beach, something Andrew wanted to see because of the famous golf tournaments there. It was worth the detour as it was very pretty and fun to watch the ocean crash over the rocks. We had a really fun trip and enjoyed every minute, right up until we left Pebble Beach and knew we still had 12 hours ahead of us in the car.
It was fun to drive into San Francisco and see all of the houses stacked on top of each other. We went over the Golden Gate Bridge and on to see the Muir Woods, which are really big, tall trees.

I love this area! What a fun trip. I am glad you survived and had fun.
That is a long drive, but it sounds like you had a fun trip. My husband's family lives in Stockton, CA, and so over the years we have visited most of the places you did. It is a neat area with lots to do. We didn't ride any of the cable cars in SF though. I am jealous!
That is a really long drive, but it seems to be worth it. I've always wanted to ride in a cable car.
Gorgeous pictures!! It sounds like you guys had a dream vacation (all except for the car ride, of course). Pebble Beach looks so pretty, and I'd love to see those huge trees. Yea for vacations!
