San Francisco
Why San Fran? We had to go and get the girls Australian passports and this was the closest place. We drove all day Tuesday and had our appointment on Wednesday at eleven. It was quite the joke trying to find a park. We found one eventually, but as Ben was putting money in the meter, all of a sudden a tow truck pulls up and was getting ready to tow our car, with me and the girls in it!!  He kept telling Ben we weren't allowed to park there. Apparently there was a sign somewhere that said Tow Away that we never saw. Thankfully he didn't give us a ticket and let us go find a park that we eventually found under one of the buildings. We did find the Australian consulate and were there for maybe five minutes getting the passports sorted. With all the crazy traffic and parking, Ben and I were so glad we had gotten a hotel in Sacramento for both nights and just drove the two hours to SanFran.

We had the rest of the day to play on Wednesday so after lunch we decided to go to the Jelly Belly Factory. It was a lot of fun. We got a free tour and free JellyBelly samples.

I am so proud of Jovi! We brought her potty and it was a good thing cause it came in handy quite a bit.
She never had an accident our whole trip! I think I am going to say she is officially Potty Trained. Yay!
And this is why you don't eat yellow snow kids.=)
Dad and Jovi taking a break
Another one of our many potty breaks.=)
Overall it was a super quick trip, but fun. We sure are glad to be home though.

I do believe her Favorite Aunt Ann needs to send her some cute Dora panties. Good Job Jovi!! Kiss both those little girls for me. Good Job Jackie. I detest potty training. I don't know if I would have been brave enough to go on a trip like that for awhile.
