California Vacation 2013 - Day 7

Today is our last day with Chris, Jenny, and Boone. We took a train ride into San Francisco to visit the Exploratorium and to see the Golden Gate Bridge. The Exploratorium was amazing. Daddy loved all the physics exhibits! It was sad to pack up tonight. Tomorrow we get an early start to King's Canyon!


Lorien and Boone on the BART train from Walnut Creek to San Francisco


Daddy takes a quick nap


This fun sculpture was at our destination. A row of concrete stepping stones under waterfalls!


Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow.


Back to my home, I dare not go. 


For if I did, my mother would say:


Did you ever see a cheese


eating blueberries? Down by the bay?


Daddy has a refreshing drink




We help capture some plankton for the microscope


Arwen builds a circuit


While Lorien and Boone make flying machines



We bused over to the Golden Gate Bridge




Here we are by a piece of one of the main cables






Lorien pauses near the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge



Saying Goodbye to San Francisco!

What a lot of cheese! I don't think I have ever seen so much in one place before! The Golden Gate Bridge is really big! I think it looks like a red bridge though! :)

Love,

The Golden Gate bridge is so big, and the river is so beautiful!
Have a great time at King Canyon tomorrow.

Thats a lot of water, We've had a whole lot of rain here, so we've got quite a bit of water too, but not near so much as you have there! Besides that water is always there and ours just lasts a little while. The science place (or whatever its called) looks really neat!

Love,
Grace
