1. Flown 10,000 miles, just about clear across the world
2. Visited 2 children's museums, a farmer's market and a beach in San Francisco
3. Seen a show at the Filmore Theater (also in SF). The Poster Room is something else, with 40+ years of psychedelic and other show posters on display.
4. Gone to kindergarten (my 6 year old son, to his cousin-in-law's class, he had a ball)
5. Flown from SF to Seattle, with awesome views of a snow-covered Mt. Rainier soaring out of the clouds
6. Put 9 people in a camper trailer that normally houses just two (but only for a few minutes, it was bedlam)
7. Played "human luge" on a beach at Seattle's Lincoln Park
8. Sent the kids up in a Cirrus (private 4-seater plane) with my dad as pilot, my 6 yr old son as "co-pilot" and my 3.5 yr old daughter as "navigator". Somehow, with all that help, they even managed to land again safely.
9. Ate salmon cooked traditional-style on a wooden plank and fish-shaped chocolates
10. Took a ferry to Victoria, BC for an incredible no-kids getaway for 3 days
11. Saw live wild orcas (killer whales) up close and personal! We even saw a mother teaching her 2 week old calf how to hunt for salmon.
12. Walked across a suspension footbridge 230 feet in the air
13. Stayed far away (me) while my husband and father did bloody oyster shots while I was writing this. Yuck!
Hope you're all having as great a Thursday (late Wednesday night) as I am!

Enjoy your vacation!!!!
The whale experience sounds great!
Oh, I wish I was there! I wasn't allowed in the Poster Room at the Fillmore the night I was there (I don't think), but man, I had a good time in the room where the bar was. Not the concert hall, the one behind it, where they were serving $12 salads.
Wish I'd seen those orcas. Amazing. Incredible.
Keep on travelling safely.
Glad to hear you've had fun, San Francisco is a fascinating city, one with so much personality.
I'm way late, but it looks like you are having an awesome time. I hope you are enjoying every minute of it.
Glad to know you're having fun. when are you coming home?
