On Sunday, the captain of our flight to Phoenix invited Clayton to sit up front for a few minutes after the flight. Clayton was in heaven.
We spent Monday morning strolling through Golden Gate Park. It was a very chilly, wet day, but we had a lot of fun.
The Dutch Windmill in the Queen Wilhelmenia tulip garden.
The tulips weren't out yet, but everything else was gorgeous.
At the Beach Chalet on the west side of the park. Clayton got a real kick out of this mural.
Clayton has been requesting a trip to the beach for years. We tried to prep him for the fact that this would be a very cold beach with no swimming, so I hope he wasn't too disappointed. It was so cold and windy when we arrived. We parked, ran out on the sand, snapped a couple pictures, and ran back to our car. Then we ate our picnic in the car with all the windows rolled up. I know it wasn't his ultimate trip to the beach, but at least the waves were really cool that day, and now he can say he's seen the Pacific Ocean.
If you look closely, above the rock closest to the Cliff House building, there's a C-5 in the air. That C-5 went round and round over the Golden Gate bridge. I'm not sure what that was all about.
That night we ate at Bubba Gumps. Yum.
Then we headed over to Ghiradelli's for dessert. We obviously split this bad boy three ways.
Clayton got the first bite. He was pretty enthusiastic about getting his fair share.
Today we traveled all over the bay area, stopping at more of our favorite places, but that will have to be a post for tomorrow.
Great pictures, Wendy! Thinking about you guys and praying for Clayton! Keep the updates coming!!!
