Trading in 90 degree weather for fog and 50 degree weather

This 4 day weekend we decided to head north to visit family and enjoy the cool weather. Today we went into San Francisco and made our first trip to the Exploratorium and had a treat at Ghiradelli Square. Originally we were going to the Oakland zoo but I'm glad we changed our plans since it was so chilly and I didn't pack accordingly. Luckily I brought a windbreaker and grabbed a couple of light sweaters for the girls for the cool evenings. Sometimes I miss the Bay area until we are sitting in lots of traffic on the freeway!

While in the city, we managed to buy lots of souvenirs for our gifts for our trip to Kazakhstan. It's customary to bring gifts to our child's caretakers, our translator, our driver, etc. Just a token of our thanks just as we bring a gift to someone when we are invited over for dinner.
