We were able to do a quick getaway to San Francisco this past Saturday with Don and Lavonne. We are so grateful for our friends, the Lees, and the Sieberts, for allowing Grace to join them for the day!
The first stop we made was at Emeryville's IKEA. I love that store! We had so much planned for the day that we skipped the showrooms, and went straight for the goods. Afterwards, we went to Pier 39 for lunch. Jason and I have visited San Francisco so many times, in particular, Fisherman's Wharf, yet we had never actually been on the pier. We stopped by the candy store for some saltwater taffy, went to see the sea lions, and then had lunch on the pier. From there, we walked to Ghiradelli Square for dessert. Yum!
The rest of the afternoon was spent at the Exploratorium. Don and Lavonne had never been there. It was fun, being little kids again, exploring, and playing around. We only wanted to go there to have fun, but left actually feeling like we "learned."
The Palace of Fine Arts is amazing. We found a bench and just sat- it felt so peaceful. This was the perfect way to end our visit with Don and Lavonne. They're heading off to Pismo Beach for one more week of relaxation before heading back up to the "Great White North." We truly are grateful for such wonderful friends, and already miss them greatly!

So jealous, especially of the Ghiradelli ice cream sundae!
