California - Day Three

The next stop on our California trip was Oakland and San Francisco! We were so excited to be able to visit both. Our first stop was the Oakland temple were my parents were sealed for time and all eternity over 30 years ago. The girls loved the Christus statue and looking at all the flowers on the grounds. And, true to form, they were doing construction at the temple, so the water was turned off and we had to be careful about the angles we took pictures from. :D

 After leaving the temple, we swung by M5 Industries to get a quick "we've been there!" shot. (Due to insurance reasons, you can't actually go inside or tour or interact with the good folks of Mythbusters, lol.) It was fun and I think it made Clark feel a little better about leaving home for a whole week. ;)

We then visited the Golden Gate. I love that bridge so much! Unfortunately, Azucena has never liked loud crowds so she cried almost the entire time. We have a great shot on Clark's phone of her just crying her eyes out while we're on the bridge. Oh well. Maybe next time she'll appreciate the beauty of the Golden Gate. :)

 Last but not least, we went to AT&T park for the Giants v Braves game. This was the entire reason we went on this week. Clark's favorite team growing up was the Braves. Unfortunately, his favorite player retired last year, but he still got to see some great plays--including Colvin's out-of-the-park home run at his first at-bat! Crazy!
