Towards the end of June, we were able to make a trip out to California. Jason and I both grew up in the same hometown, so it is fun for both of us to head back there.
We split the drive out there and stopped for the night in Winnemucca, NV. It is about a 12 hour drive total, so splitting it up was nice for everyone.
Once we arrived, it was fun for the kids to play and run around Grandma's house. The week was filled with lots of fun activities and we all had so much fun!
The first full day there, we spent up in Sacramento visiting Fairytale Town and then the Railroad Museum. The girls loved both places, and there was so much to see! We were able to visit with my Aunt and Uncle who live up there and have dinner with them at the Old Spaghetti Factory.
The next day we stayed in town and visited the Jelly Belly Factory. We took the tour and had fun picking out treats in the gift shop. We ate REALLY well that day, and had lunch at Round Table, dinner at Chevy's, then dessert with Pazookies from BJ's. Had to squeeze in some of our favorites!
Friday we were able to catch up with Jason's brother and visit the California Academy of Sciences where he works. That place was amazing, with so much to see! We were so busy there, I took Zero pictures. Sad! The girls loved getting to visit Uncle Mason.
Saturday was my favorite day, because we went to a Giants game in San Francisco! I love baseball, and going to Giants games is something I used to do a LOT. This was my first game back in almost six years! It was so much fun to bring the girls for their first game, and they had the best time. They loved all the treats, music, and cheering loudly! Marley was the cutest little fan, and would yell, "GO GIANTS" about every 5 minutes.
The Giants didn't win, but we got to see a homerun by Brandon Belt and eat lots of yummy ballpark food. So it was still a great day!
On Sunday we had a great time visiting the ward I grew up in and seeing old friends. Marley was very brave and went to a new primary all by herself without batting an eye. We spent the rest of the day at my parents house. Kenzie was so exhausted from the week of fun, she went to bed before dinner!
The next day we made the trek back to Utah, along with my parents who were coming out for a two week visit. We had a great time in California and enjoyed my parents being here in Utah for a bit. More on those adventures later!
