Oakland or Bust.....

On the road to Oakland to take Kamron home.
We left around 4:00 a.m. as we always do on a trip.
We love to drive and see the sun coming up just as we are coming over the grapevine.
Brings back old memories of vacations with our
boys when they were little and cuddled in their footsie pajamas in the back seat of the car.

The first stop when we got into Oakland was up on a hill at the Berkeley Rose Gardens.
This is one of Kamron's favorite spots to come and play music
and explore the beautiful park.
There was a huge cement slide the people were going down
on cardboard boxes.
Looks like fun!!!

The gardens and the park were just beautiful!!!!

As we were sight-seeing with Kamron in Oakland he decided to take us to a French Bakery....
Yumm!!!
Kim had a large coffee that was served in a huge bowl!!!!

This is the famous crooked street in San Francisco!!!
We came from behind it and rode down the street just like all of the tourists were doing....

We rented a place from Korey's friend who lives in San Francisco and it was just too cute!!!
Nice and clean and everything that we needed to be comfortable!

Some of the highlights of our trip...
Kamron took us all over town and we really can see why he enjoys this area!
No need for a car, public transportation and a bicycle is
all you need!!!!

And of course we can't go home without stopping in to our favorite pub in Santa Barbara!
The Brewhouse!
We shared a dinner and beer and then splerged on
their famous
goat cheese chipotle cheesecake with raspberry sauce!!!
Yumm!!!!
