Saturday night was fairly relaxed. We walked the streets around our hotel. Had dinner at a Pizzeria. We swam in the hotel pool (it was cold outside- the pool was heated to ~70-72 deg. We got to the pool and started swimming just as a conference was starting...buisness people in suits were walking out..
Sleeping was good. It was quiet. The kids went to bed easily--we were all so tired.
Sunday morning packed up and went to breakfast. Rachel left us her leftover city passes. So we decided to go to the Legion of Honour - art museum and the Cable car museum...
We drove first to find the cable car museum...could not find a parking spot anywhere...abandoned that idea and drove to the museum, which, I really enjoyed (even though it wasn't as exciting for the kids..they were good sports though)
It rained all day Sunday... We weren't going to get a break. We drove around and under the road that goes to the Golden Gate Bridge and when we stopped(because of tummys being upset) We were at a vista point and noticed a foot trail that could take us down to the Ocean. Liam was the first to say lets do that... We walked down all the way to the beach.
It was still misty.. we got a little bit wet but it was probably the best part of the trip.
I love spontaneity! To find a trail and explore it is the best way I could ever hope to spend my time..Regardless of the rain. We got to see the ocean up close. We found tidal pools.
The kids drew in the sand... we played for a while. I found lots of starfish and sea urchins and mollusks.
Riley did have a slight freak out with the tide starting to come in --she worried that it was going to overflow(her biggest fear) so that's when it was time to leave..and she was fine once we were on our way back to the car. We all thanked Liam for having this great idea.
