Travel the World

Friday, April 17, 2009

Well our lastest weekend adventure took us to San Francisco. Our upcoming trip to visit my parents in Shanghai, China allowed us to finally get passports and most importantly chinese visa's, all of which had to be done before we leave for China. We were lucky enough to get a hotel room downtown in the Union Square district where all the shopping was, so at least we were in a good part of town.


Chloe had a lot of fun, especially when we went to the Exploratorium (aka Science Center) and ate lunch. Chloe's special was noodles with toe suprise!!!LOL!
When we got there Saturday we went to the Fisherman's Warf, walked around and then went back to the hotel and had a pizza night. On Sunday is when we went to the Exploratorium and I can tell you that getting directions in San Francisco is a nightmare, especially on your phone and when the GPS doesn't work right. We were going to go to church just 5 minutes away, but it took more than 30 to find it and so we ended up going for a nice drive and found the Exploratorium.



We got there early, so once we were there, Amy and Chloe took a nap and Alexa and I went walking around and got some pretty cute pictures, outside of the many faces that Alexa makes.





On Monday we woke up bright and early (depends on the girls) checked out and went to get our visa's for our passport's. Unfortunatly I was under the impression that we would be able to apply for them at the Chinese Consulate and have them mail our passport back to us but that is not how they do things, so luckily we got there in the morning and was able to pick them up the same day, so in the meantime we went to a park and had some fun before we had to head home.





CHINA!!!! HERE WE COME!!!!
