Super Adventure Tour: Day 6

Today we explored San Francisco with Carmen as our native guide.  
We walked from Carmen's house through Golden Gate Park all the way to the bay.  We followed the bay to Fisherman's Wharf, where we tried our first In-N-Out Burgers.  They were awesome!  Later we looked at the California sea lions at Pier 39 and walked into downtown.  We visited a really cool toy store in the city before catching a bus back to the house.  
Carmen was our photojournalist for the day.

This is what happens when you point an expensive camera directly at Nikki.

Matt ate three tubs of ketchup with this meal.

Aaron and Matt give a 'thumbs up', indicating that they were very pleased with their In-N-Out Burger experience.

Aaron's face required a massive amount of sunscreen.

Super Adventure Tour: Day 5

It's the end of day 5 on the Super Adventure Tour.
Tonight we're staying with Carmen and Derrek in San Francisco.
So far we've visited the San Diego Zoo, jumped in the Pacific Ocean in
 the middle of the night, surfed San Elijo State Beach, watched elephant seals basking near Cambria, and drove a stretch of Highway 1.
