Anniversary Trip!

Ryan and I headed to California early this morning for a quick getaway for our 5th anniversary! I cherish time away with my hubby, where it's just the two of us for a time! B stayed with my dad and mom and they had some fun of their own.

With Grandma and Jack at Jensen's soccer game.

We flew into San Jose and the original plan was to go to Great America, but after a long week we opted for something else. Stopping at Denny's for breakfast, we threw around a few ideas. We started heading towards Yosemite on a whim, however, we decided to drive up around the bay and stop at the Golden Gate Bridge. On our way to the GG Bridge, we came upon a fun little Farmers' Market at the Marin Country Mart. Oh man, how I wish we had a farmers' market like that around here, chock full of organic produce and other goodies.

Then on to the Golden Gate Bridge, Ryan's first visit and my second. It's such a grand site.

Driving across the bridge.

An "ussie" :)

After spending some time at the bridge, we started making our way down to our hotel in Santa Clara. Turns out it was right next to the new 49ers football stadium, which was pretty cool.

Finished off our day with some In n Out Burger and, of course, a quick stop at Walmart for bottled water and snacks for the rest of our trip.

ZOO DAY!

Finally, we made it to the zoo. B has been asking to go for months and we finally had time while we were in Salt Lake. She loved it! The first animals she wanted to see were the elephants, which ended up being her favorite animals. The bear was sleeping right by the glass and woke up while she was standing right there, which scared her to tears when he stood up. The lions were pretty active near the glass, which was cool and a bit scary for her, as well.

All in all, we had a wonderful day!

A morning date with my baby girl to Old Navy followed by lunch at Five Guys. That girl loves her burgers. :)

How fun that we were in town to watch one of Jensen's soccer games. Watching 4-5 year olds run around in herd chasing a ball is too funny. Ha! My brother makes a great coach, too!

Yeah, Ryan flew back to town this evening! Picking him up is so much more fun than dropping him off!

Stacey fixed a yummy roast for all of us for dinner after the soccer game.

B wanted to hold baby Jack, so Ryan helped her.
