Day Trip...

On Saturday we woke up with no plans and ended up headed to San Francisco for the day. We figured that Pier 39 would be good for lunch and my salt water taffy fix, but not necessarily something we could do all day with Sienna. We decided to go to the Zoo since neither one of us had been there and we heard it was a pretty cool zoo. I LOVED it! I loved how many things they had for young kids, that animals that lived together in real life got to be together at the zoo (i.e. zebras and giraffes), random peacocks, and how close you seemed to be able to get to the animals...seriously, it was crazy. They had some awesome animals too! Here are some pictures of our favorites.

We also saw a Bald Eagle, a Hippo, Lions, Bears, Sea Lions, Monkeys and so much more including a HUGE anaconda. I literally stepped back when I saw it. Sienna did great! We stopped a couple of times for snack breaks but for the most part she just soaked up everything and even put up with Daddy putting on some silly animal ears at the souvenir shop.

I told Nick that I definitely want to go again when Sienna is bigger. We then headed to the Pier for lunch, taffy and the traditional picture at the end of the pier. Sienna was pretty much done by that time so none of those pictures are awesome, but good enough. It was such a fun day!
