Lauren in San Francisco - Day 5 (5/26/08)

First we went to a fancy breakfast. It was fun. And I got a huge pancake, with strawberries on top! Then we went to the airport. First we stopped in Kansas City, and then we went to our airport. Then we drove home. It was good to be home. And I snuggled with my two kitties very a lot.

As told by Lauren to Dad, her faithful typist.

Lauren in San Francisco - Day 4 (5/25/08)

First, we went over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a little fun. And then we went to the redwood forest. The trees were so big that they were almost as big as the clouds! Then we went to the beach. I got to dip my toes in the water - in the Pacific Ocean.

Then we went to the lighthouse. We got to go inside a building. We went on a bridge to get there, and there was only two people on it at a time.

Then we drove back to the Golden Gate Bridge. We had pizza. And that is my day.

Lauren in San Francisco – Day 3

Today we went to Angel Island. It was fun. We got to go hiking. We got to find feathers, and they were all big, but one was small. We had a picnic at the picnic table. We got to go on the beach and collect lots of shells – and we even found crabs, real live crabs! They were moving too. We found one big crab shell, and it was a dead crab shell. We saw some big trees on the hike. And we saw a really old hospital that I think it was from World War II. Soldiers got hurt and they came there too. In back, they didn’t have medicines or shots. And we went really high. When we went down we went really fast, and it was really cool.

My uncle found a really old can. I think it was as old as the house, too. The house was little this time. But when it was back, it was big too.

We went bungee-jumping. I did lots of back-flips, and it was real bungee jumping. It was fun. My sister got a turn too. She was first.

We went on the cable car, and it was really fun. We got to go up and down hills. There were people hanging out of the cable car too, on a railing.

Lauren in San Francisco – Day 2

First of all, we went to Geoff’s bakery. I have never seen fighting lobsters, but there were lobsters. They had rubber bands around their claws. It was so fascinating. We tried to go on the cable car, but it didn’t work. Then we started to go on the subway. It was fun. We got to go underground. Then we had the right stop.

It was Uncle Dave’s birthday, and we went to a fancy restaurant. It was a little bit fun! And it is always summer here in San Francisco.

We had a cake at dinner, because it was a birthday. It was yummy.

First Day in San Francisco, May 23, 2008

This is Denise’s garden. It is huge. It is in San Francisco. I picked up some petals. It was fun.












I am at Mission Dolores museum. There is a graveyard, too.

I am at the gate in the Mission. There are other people, too. Tabby is in the picture with me.
