Dissention in the troops!


Mill Bay is the most beautiful town we have seen yet. Everything from the high school to the Safeway parking lot is pristine and beautiful. The homes are meticulous and the tropical foliage breath taking, even the air smell wonderful. Camping for us however was not so wonderful. After finally finding a site that was full we decided to camp in an overflow parking lot next to the camp site. The kids were looking forward to chasing lizards again but we put a stop to it since there were rattle snake and mountain lion warning signs mounted throughout the campsite. It was a very long and hot night. To our amazement the kids slept like logs, mom and dad however were not were not so lucky. There may have even been mention of turning towards home by one or two family members that day! Today was a new day. We drove 20 minutes or so into San Fransisco. Hailey and Reilly were completely taken by the Golden Gate Bridge. The first thing we did was book into a hotel. No questions there! Our hotel is across the street from the zoo and 2 blocks from the beach. We spent the morning on the beach watching surfers and playing in the water which by the way is still freezing cold. When will it warm up? After cleaning up we took the kids to Fisherman's Pier. Dinner was clam chowder in a sour dough bowl, Hailey agreed it tasted better than canned clam chowder. We asked them what their favorite part of today was and the highlight for them was watching a single sea lion in the bay posing for all who would watch. They were so happy and it was totally free. That right there makes this trip so incredibly worth while. Tomorrow we go to the zoo and other stuff!
