Back to the US!
San Francisco
We had the most amazing time with Robb's Auntie Jeanette - the perfect welcome after not the most comfortable flight (for me, not the kids - they slept brilliantly both across my lap!). It was so lovely to be picked up at the airport and taken to see the city from the Peaks. Everywhere you go here there are stunning views of the city and we were so lucky with the weather, as they'd had lots of rain recently.
Fisherman's Wharf and Sausalito
This bustling area was full of shops selling sweets and souvenirs, but it had a really fun atmosphere and was great for an hour's stroll along the front. We'd come for the sealions on Pier 39 and the kids were not disappointed - they couldn't believe how close they were and we stayed for ages. Jeanette then drove us to Sausalito, which is such a gorgeous area, and we had the best burgers sat on the front watching a seal play in the bay. It was so relaxing for us and there was plenty of space for the kids to run around too.
