San Francisco Trip

My parents decided to take a trip to Monterrey and San Francisco, CA for Spring Break, and at the last minute we decided to go! It was quite the adventure, traveling with three babies, on a plane, to CA! We had some fun moments, and then a lot of not so fun moments. I will not be in a hurry to ride on an airplane with three babies again anytime soon! We visited the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, Muir Woods, San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf, took a ferry out around the bay, Union Square, and Ghiradelli Square. We ate lots of food, and made lots of funny memories!
Some funny moments include:
- Riding on the trolley car with two strollers
- Emma throwing up in the airport right before we board the plane
-Sleeping with Camden for two nights
- trying to entertain the twins in the airport when our flight was delayed an hour
-fitting three car seats in the back of a rental car! (Good job Rob!)
-Swimming at the hotel
-Rob pushing the handicap door bell on my parents hotel room, the button getting stuck and making a loud noise for an hour! He door bell ditched so nobody knew he rang the door! (Of course not telling anyone about it until breakfast the next morning!)
-China town swindling! I got two cute little Chinese baby dresses for the twins for an unbeatable price!
-the beautiful, peaceful, car rides when all three girls were sleeping!
Here a few of the many pictures from the trip!

Me, Camden, and Shelly, sitting on the ferry boat! Camden was running everywhere! That was probably the only time I smiled while on the boat!

How fun that you all got to go! That is probably my most favorite vacation spot. You are brave for taking the kids. :)

Our Story...

Rob and I met in November of 2002 in the financial services office at BYU. After a very akward introduction, which involved me introducing myself in the third person, Rob called and asked me out. After a pretty amazing first date (its a long story-some other time), I confidently told Rob "that once he dated me he would never want to date anyone else." I really had no idea at that point that it was going to work out so well. We dated for the next five months and then one beautiful night on a bridge at Sundance resort, Rob and I got engaged. We were married four months later on August 16, 2003 in the Las Vegas, NV temple. And we have been living happily ever after since...
