A Day trip to the beach

Hubby and I love the beach, in fact if we could afford it we would live at the beach and raise the girls. Since that is not reality for us we try and go to the beach as often as we can which unfortunately only turns out to be about 3-4 times a year. Hubby has been wanting to take a day trip to the beach but I have always been a bit hesitant. I don't like driving in the car on trips. So for us a day trip to the beach could be around 5-6 hours round trip.

Hubby finally convinced me to give it a try. I was still considering a one night trip but paying for a hotel at summer rates just wasn't in our budget. So we got up early Friday morning and left for the beach. When we got to San Francisco the fog was heavy and it was very cold. So we decided to go ahead and use the free zoo tickets I had and take the girls to the zoo.




The girls had so much fun climbing on all of the statues and they insisted that I take their picture on everything! Finally KK is happy to have her picture taken and she actually poses!




It was quite chilly that day. We all had to wear sweatshirts.



Have you seen the lions at the San Francisco zoo? Man that male lion is so big, sure makes me scared. They let you see him close up too since they used Plexiglas for the viewing.

After the zoo around 5:00 we headed to the beach. The cool thing was the sun finally burned off all the fog so we had a few hours of fun! Unfortunately the beach we chose didn't have any shells. Daddy and KK had fun anyway jumping the waves in the very cold water!
We made it home shortly after 10 and all of us were quite exhausted!
