California Days 3 and 4

 Day3
We headed to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz. It's this weird place where gravity changes and you can do weird things. We took a tour and had fun experiencing the force that was there.  These pictures don't even do this justice. Trust me..it was very strange.

This house is level...I promise!

 The gravity just pulls you!
Standing on a flat surface.








 After that we headed to Big Basin to have a picnic and do some hiking. Halfway there, Cory blew a tire and we had to change it.  We fixed the tire and then headed in to have a picnic in the woods and then we went into the park and hiked around a little bit. Cooper made a friend named Dante, and they ran all over together. His grandma shared watermelon with us and then we headed back to the hotel. 
















We stopped and got ice cream at this little shop and they were so big.

The kids were happy.
 At the hotel, I took the kids swimming while Cory got a new tire put on the car. 



 We went and found a light house to look at and then went and played on the beach.











We then went to dinner at this amazing Italian restaurant called Kiantis. They give the kids a mound of dough to play with while waiting for dinner. It kept them entertained. Cooper was trying to put it on my face and his. Silly guy.






 We tried pizza, fettuccine, spaghetti, lasagna and garlic bread. All so yummy!  After dinner we went and got some cupcakes for dessert.

Day 4
We woke up and headed to San Fransisco.  We went to pier 39 and ate at Boudinis for lunch.
 We let the kids ride on the carousel

 and then we watched a little magic show that Cayman was apart of and was shown how to make a bottle disappear in a brown paper bag.

She was super cute. Cooper loved watching the seals and we got them ice cream cones.

After the Pier we headed up to Coit tower and saw the overlook of the city. It was so pretty.



It was getting a little cold so we shopped for some Giants gear and then we headed to the Giants Baseball game. Cory and Cayman bought a baseball and Cayman was able to get 2 autographs on it. One from the coach Bruce Bochy and one from the player Brandon Crawford. Cayman was so happy.

  We then got some amazing garlic fries

 and hotdogs and the kids played in the fun zone.  The game was incredibly cold and we were just not warm enough.  Cooper fell asleep for a little bit and Cayman was doing what the little boys were doing after each inning and trying to get a ball thrown to her over the fence.














The fun zone and Cooper hit a home run!

It was fun despite the cold. I am glad we could do something Cory really loves. He loved the game. The Giants won!
