memorial day weekend in CALIFORNIA

this past weekend weston and whitni went home to CA for a camping trip and invited us. it really was so much fun and SO nice to get out of rexburg..completey worth the 13 hour drive!
all the things we did in no paticular order:
..camped in santa cruz with whitni's family..
..spent a half day in san francisco..
*went to peir 39/the wharf (saw the infamous seals, alcatraz from across the way and ate delicious mini doughnuts)
*drove down lombard street
*drove across the golden gate bridge(and back)
*ate at boudin's (best sour dough bread bowls ever)
..went on a mile a half hike through the redwoods..
..licked banana slugs...yes you heard me correctly (apparently a mangrum family tradition that's been going on for years. every time they go on this hike they lick banana slugs. it apparently makes your tongue numb. and yes i did it. i guess i give into peer pressure when it's persisant)..
..the guys went to see the new terminator(and liked it, but not that much)..
..spent a couple days at seacliff beach(and got NO sun..how? i don't know!)..
..ate at a taco truck in turlock (i was feelin sketchy about it, but again..i give into peer pressure and it was really GOOD)
..went to the boardwalk and went on a couple rides-"fireball" and "giant dipper"(85 year old rollercoaster)..
..had a nice bbq with weston's family on memorial day..
thank you mangrums for letting us tag along..we had a lot of fun!
