We went on a trip to San Fransisco the week before Christmas. We had tickets to the Steelers - 49ers game. We were only in San Fransisco about 2 1/2 days, but we packed a lot into those few days. We went to one of the piers and looked at the boats. There was jellyfish in the water and we scooped some of them out and looked at them up close. In the water they just kind of looked like cotton balls. When we took them out they were clear.
We went to Muir Woods, a little redwood forest about 45 minutes from San Fransisco.
This is us at the Golden Gate Bridge. We visited the aquarium at pier 39 and saw some really cool fish. Another really neat thing that we got to watch was the sea lions at pier 39. They have docks for them to lay on and they would play king of the dock and push each other off.
And finally we went to the game. The Steelers lost, bummer. The power went out twice while we were there, which was very interesting. Dave took Carson to the bathroom and there were some rowdy fans about to go to blows and using horrible language. He said he had to get out of there as fast as possible. We had a lot of fun, although I'm not sure that I would go somewhere that close to Christmas again. We missed out on a lot and then when we got home it was a struggle to get caught up with getting ready for Christmas.
The top 2 pictures are from Christmas at my mom's house. She gave him the RC Hummer and the picture on the left is 2 dollar bills rolled up that my aunt gave him.
This is Christmas morning. Of course Carson got a bunch of Steelers stuff. He wanted an iPod touch, but Santa told him that he needed to be a little bit older. The Steelers trip/game was part of Christmas and an iPod touch was a little too much $$. He was thrilled with what he got. He is a good boy!
