It's been a good week. I am noticing that I am alot more calm. My brain seems to have slowed down to a pace where I do not feel frantic anymore. I am concentrating better at work and getting alot more accomplished. Also, in my home life, things are becoming more organized. Or maybe I am just more at peace with the mess - ha!

This week I've been compiling in my mind a list of things I'd like to do while in San Francisco. There are so many things to do, but much of it is free or little cost, but of course when you multiply "little cost" by 4 people, it becomes much, much more in a hurry. :)

Anyway, these are some of the ideas I've had so far:

The San Francisco Zoo
Visiting the Golden Gate Bridge and walking on it
The Golden Gate Park
Monteray Bay Aquarium
Cruise from Monteray Bay with whale watching
Exploratorium
Riding the ferry over and spending a day at Fisherman's Wharf
Stinson Beach (of course!!!)

Wow, already I can see by listing that out that since we have six days there, those are too many things - lol. But it is great to know that we are going to be able to choose whatever we want to do.

I am looking forward to my little Christmas present to the girls and I feel good about it. A week off work right around Christmas. Getting away from the snow and stuff here and going to be by the ocean and seeing my brother. Letting the girls see their uncle. Did I mention - getting away?

:)

I think it will be worth every penny spent on the tickets and more because I am hoping the girls will remember this trip more than any presents I could have bought them.
