5 days on the road, we had a blast! I'm very glad I stocked up on bribes. We spend 2 days in Monterey, then 2 in San Francisco, stopping by to see Brian, Heidi and Ava on the way home.
The boys loved the aquarium, and the zoo, and walking around by the beach and seeing all the boats. Sleep was a rarity, but they held up remarkably well.
