Mom's Group Trip to San Francisco

Last week the Mom's Group headed out to San Francisco! We visited the Sea Lions, Pier 39 and the Aquarium of the Bay. There were 27 people in the group, from babies to Grandma & Grandpa's, it was a great group! We caravaned from Vacaville all the way to the city. We even managed to get through the toll lanes and down Embarcadero together!
The Aquarium was a little pricey, but really cool. The kids were fascinated with the tunnels that went under the water. We saw huge fish and star fish in one and then sharks in the other. Upstairs, the kids saw a really cool Octopus, and wereable to pet bat rays, sharks and then touch starfish. It was a hit with the kids and even fascinating for the parents.
Afterwards we broke up into groups, got lunch, ice cream and then got out of town to beat the holiday weekend traffic!
Touching the starfish: (Thomas said the were "yucky")

Touching the bat rays and the sharks, with one finger: (Thomas looked brave and ready, until they came near, then he just laughed with excitement!)

They had a really cool aquarium that the kids could crawl under and stand up to be surrounded by the water! There was this one with fish and the other one was with the octopus)

Most of the kids for a group picture: (we should've gotten one of the adults, if there were 27 total, that means there were tons of adults!)

Our caravan group got a quick pictre before seeing the real sea lions!:
