We had so much fun having my mom and Emily come for a visit! It was nice to be able to show them around and do a few fun things before the baby comes! We went with Grandma to explore a nearby mall and ran into this amazing French bakery. After looking at all the amazing desserts in the window, we just couldn't walk away without trying some!
We got a chocolate cake/mousse roll and bread pudding with fruit on top. They were both delicious!
After some re-routing of Emily's plane trip to get here, we were able to pick her up in Oakland on Friday. When Calvin got off of work, we headed out to Santa Clara for some hot dog and marshmallow roasting! It was nice to be near the ocean and enjoy some time together. Camden was much too busy digging in the sand to notice the hot dogs or marshmallows-right until we decided to pack up to go, haha.
Our s'mores were awesome! We used chocolate chip cookies and also mint Milanos, along with our chocolate bars and marshmallows....yum!
We were able to see the bridges going across the bay and got a nice view of Alcatraz! We also saw some dolphins and a seal.
On Saturday, we headed to San Francisco to take a ferry ride across the bay over to Sausalito. I loved being out on the water.
Unfortunately, this guy taking his jacket off totally ruined this cute picture of Emily and Mom! Even more unfortunate, Emily had her eyes closed in the one I took after it to get a better shot. Oh well!
Here's a view looking back at the ferry terminal where we left from.

In Sausalito, we just explored some of the shops in the little town and had some very good ice cream! My favorite part was walking along the boardwalk in the yacht harbor, picking out our future yacht :)
Camden had found a dollar when we were buying our ferry tickets and chose to use it for a ride on the carousel! He was pretty excited about it!
Probably the best adventure of the day was driving over to Chinatown and driving up and down the steepest roads I have ever been on! It was absolutely crazy!! We were going up one very steep road, the one these cable cars will take you up, and as we were going up, we had to stop mid-hill!! I don't know if it was a stop sign or a stop light, or if the people in front of us were just crazy, but they were getting out of their cars and taking pictures, which meant we had to stop too! It was a little bit scary. The steepest road was the one we went down, it was insane. You couldn't see where the road was going to go until you got right up to the edge, then it seemed like it went straight down. In the end, I thought it was actually pretty fun :)
When we got back to San Francisco, we walked (and walked and walked) down to Pier 39 for some sourdough bread bowls, clam chowder, sourdough sandwiches, and sourdough pizza. It was all very good!
We went and showed Grandma and Emily our favorite sea lions on the pier!

And Emily was excited to spend her dollars on a churro :)

It was nice to have Sunday to relax and celebrate Father's Day with Calvin. I love you Calvin! Thank you for being such a wonderful father. I was sad to miss out on celebrating Father's Day with my own dad, I love you too dad! I couldn't ask for a better Father. And one more father I am grateful for, my father-in-law! How many girls have a father-in-law who calls them to chat and check in on them? I am lucky to have so many wonderful fathers in my life! I love you all!
