san fran man.

 the vacation we were looking forward to was..... a little interesting. to say the least. the hotel, as mentioned in the last post, blew. with a capital B. it was awful. zak hated every second of it. and to add on top of that, it was pouring rain for most of the days. someday, i will want to go back there, but this trip was....more than enough for the moment.

 this rain cover was the most important thing we've ever bought. so worth the money. it saved the child. while we were freezing our tails off walking home from hard rock cafe in the pouring rain, he was nice and toasty under there. lucky dog. 

 the next day was quite nice, even though it turned out to be quite chilly. 54 degrees my butt. we went to the golden gate bridge, fisherman's wharf, pier 39 and ghiradelli square. we had delicious gingerbread hot cocoa, fabulous grilled mahi mahi, clam chowder in sourdough bowls and much much more. ahh. it was fabulous. i love eating out.

this is one of my favorite restaurants, and had to give levi the full experience. baby loved it. the monkeys moving were his favorite. second was the waterfall, and then the elephants. he's become quite the little traveler. he was loving all the places we went to.

ugh. these pictures depress me just looking at them. this was the drive back over the pass to reno. on interstate 80. yes, there is only one lane. and yes, we were only going about 20 mph. so it took us about 5 1/2 hours to get back instead of 4.

however, on the plus side of this trip, levi was unofficially accepted to University of Pacific!! wahoo! they loved him, as most people do. the associate dean interviewed him and emailed him after and said that he would be a great asset to the school and he would love to see him there. plus, they only interview about 200 people, and they accept 140 of them and because he interviewed before december 1st, they said the interview is just for "convincing you to come here". awesome possum.

and now we need to make a decision of where we want to live. by next week. tough tough tough.
