California trip

We packed our bags (all 1000 of them) and headed west, to California!  We went to Gustine, CA first and stayed with our good friends, Anna & Keith and their kiddos, Simon and Stella!  It was beautiful and relaxing.  The kids got dirty, we went on a hike, made lots of food and ate some authentic mexican grub!  After a few days there, we ALL drove to the coast to a beach house on LaSelva Beach (right outside of Santa Cruz).  Jacqui, Joe and Adeline met us there.  We bummed on the beach (in not so amazing weather), had a Mother's Day brunch and shopping day, made some fantastic dinners and enjoyed the company! After the beach house just the 4 of us went to San Francisco!  That place was awesome!  We rode trolleys, cable cars, buses, went on a boat to the Golden Gate Bridge, ate great seafood, delicious chocolate treats, spent an afternoon in China Town, and pretty much walked and bussed a million miles!  Finley loved it!  Both girls did amazing all trip (minus the constant breastfeeding and the sharing of a bedroom shenanigans)!
