On our last day in San Francisco, the kids and I visited Golden Gate Park for the morning before leaving for Modesto. Jeff was with Nick and Brian for the start of their festivities. We checked out the botanic gardens to start (after taking the trolley there first, of course, and much to Aaron's delight). Then we headed over to the children's playground and carousel to burn off some energy. Unfortunately, I didn't know just how far apart these two places were within the same "park". About .5 - .75 miles later with a sleeping Aaron on me, we made it to the park. Kyle and Emily spent an hour just climbing on a pretty awesome climbing structure while Aaron continued to sleep.
We had to have some ice cream since it was lunch time and we needed something to eat (and to make sure the kids would mostly happily walk over to the trolley station which was a few blocks away and up a small hill). This is the San Francisco ice cream treat, It's It.

Around 3pm, we left San Francisco to drive to Modesto to see our friends who used to live in San Diego. Our 1.5 - 2 hour drive according to Google Maps turned out to be 3+. Apparently getting out of downtown San Francisco on a Friday afternoon is particularly slow. After the first hour going about 1 mile to get to the bridge, we were on our way.
We had a great time visiting with Tricia, Scott, Dax, Rowan and their new little sister, Zara.
