Rice a Roni...The San Francisco Treat!

I had that song in my head the whole time Kurt and I were in San Francisco for spring break. And Kurt's thing was, every time we passed a cow he would say, "Happy cows come from California..." yeah we are so nerdy. We had so much fun in California with Kevin and Robyn and Kassidy. When we got there on Wednesday Kassidy was a little nervous around Kurt but was comfortable with me immediately. She soon warmed up and we all had to call him beast for the entire trip. She is obsessed with princesses and she insists on being called Belle, or Sleeping Beauty (it depends on the day). So she dubbed Kurt beast (off of Beauty and the beast) Robyn was dragon (off of Sleeping Beauty) Kevin was Prince and I was just Whitney. So stinkin' cute. Thursday was a day full of shopping, visiting the Jelly Belly factory and relaxing. It was really nice after an 11 hour drive the day before and having to hear Kurt say Happy cows come from California over and over and not to mention our GPS was taking us in circles so we were ready to kill each other by the time we got there.
The Jelly Belly factory was really cool. We did a tour and got to see how they make the Jelly Belly's. OH and as for pictures go, either Kurt lost the camera or we forgot it for most of the trip so thanks to wonderful Robyn she took some pictures for us. But I'll post what we do have for right now until I get the other ones from Robyn. LOVE you Robyn!-Anyways, we ate Jelly Belly's the entire trip, they were delicious! Friday we went to San Francisco, drove over the Golden Gate Bridge, went to the beach, and Pier 39. Such a fun day. The water was freezing so we didn't swim but we had a little picnic and searched for sea glass.
We took some pictures at this spot on Robyn's camera so I will post those later. But the whole time we were in San Francisco I thought of the show Full House haha. I'm a little ridiculous. The bridge costs $7 a car to drive across it. They are making bank off that sucker. Kurt was disgusted that the State of California was so far in debt even though they charge an arm and a leg for everything.
This is how all of the streets are in San Fran. I kinda sorta loved it because it was so different and just how I pictured it but everyone else wasn't a fan. Kurt stated numerous times that he could never live there

This is Pier 39. A really touristy place of San Fran. but so fun. There were all these little shops and places to eat. There was a harbor and you could see the Golden Gate Bridge. Really just a fun little pier. There was a place were sea lions all gathered and hung out but there wasn't a lot so we didn't take any pictures. So Friday was really fun and we had a good time. Saturday March 20th was Kurt's 24th birthday so we went to six flags. Kassidy loves all of the animals and we heard about Shouka all week. This is Shouka.

There was also a dolphin and sea lion show so it was really eventful going from one show to the next. Then we went on some rides. Kurt and Kevin were so nervous but I was so EXCITED. I love roller coasters. This one was my favorite.I don't really know how to explain it but it was so much fun. After Kurt and I had our fun on the rides, we found Robyn, Kass and Kevin. Since Robyn is pregnant she couldn't go on any rides so we found her and Kass and took Kass on some rides. She was really nervous but loved it. After all our Six Flag fun we went home for some cake and ice cream. Sunday we headed home and on our way home we were driving down what is called the loniest rode. Seriously there was absolutely nothing for miles. Kurt just happened to pass the only cop on that rode going 87 so he got pulled over and slapped with a ticket. Luckily the guy was nice and only gave him a ticket for five over. So besides the ticket we had so much fun with Kevin, Robyn and Kassidy and had a nice vacation away from school and work.

Riding Thomas the Train. Kassidy's favorite ride!
