We took our first family vacation to California!!
Although it was a short vacation, it was packed full of fun and activities! My sister KC moved to San Jose California last July and we decided to take a trip to see. KC will be moving back home (YEAH!!) later this week and we couldn't be more excited!

On Saturday she took us to Santa Cruz to play on the beach! This was Heidi's first visit to the beach, and what a blast she had. We couldn't keep her out of the water! Let me just tell you one thing, the March's are not meant for sun. All three of us came back burnt and burnt! Attached to the beach in Santa Cruz is the Beach Boardwalk (an Amusement Park) where we spent the rest of the afternoon. Sunday we ventured to San Francisco and boy was it chilly! Here in the midwest we are used to July being hot and humid, in San Francisco it was cloudy and about 65 degrees! We stopped by some musical landmarks from the Summer of Love (the 60's) era for Jimmy and some of the landmarks from the opening credits of 'Full House' for my sister, Heidi and I. We drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and headed to Fishermans Warf & Pier 39. We stopped off at 'Bubba Gumps Shrimp' for lunch and took a view of Alcatraz too! We left Monday morning and headed back home ~ we had a great time!!
Please enjoy some pics from our trip:
