So here's the rest of our trip!

I look oober gross in that picture, but we went to the Golden Gate bridge on Sunday wearing our twinner shirts (how embarassing).

This was right outside of where Robot Wars was being held. You stepped 2 steps away from Jerome's pit table and you were outside and could see Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge. I don't think any of the nerds noticed, but for the few wives that were there, we enjoyed it. :)

This is the snail car. (and a half of a boat sticking out of the wall behind it...wtf?) The snail car was really interesting, it was like 10 feet tall or something. The people that came with the car were even more interesting. The car was made from a VW bug. The people that came with the car were part of some company where you could rent them to set the mood for your party. They came to robot wars on Friday and served free beer. They didn't know what to do when i asked them for water. the he/she i was talking to said, "we have tonic water..." uh, no thanks. i said, "how much do i owe you" (after they had found some bottled water) and the once a man, now a girl individual said, "we only work on tips honey!" it was pretty awesome.

Story came down to the robot wars on Friday. She was a little terror. Julie (Jerome's mom) and David (Jerome's Uncle) came down that day too. That was the day of Jerome's first fight.

This was another one of those rare moments when she wasn't mad.

My attempt to keep her binki in. :) She actually fell asleep for part of it, but when two of the robots banged together she was awake again.

She apparently had a very exhausting day and passed out in grampa's chair. :)

Originally i wasn't planning on going with Jerome to this robot thing, but Grampa said he might not be around next year and just had to meet Story. Somewhere we have a picture of Jerome as a baby on Grampa's lap in his chair.

Grandma whipped out a quilt for Story while we were there. I'm so glad to have it, because its a big one and Story has just about out grown all her blankets.

We did a bunch of shopping on pier 39 and i got these awesome salt and pepper shakers!!! I seriously love them so much!

And of course i got Story lots of presents. i got her this alcatraz onsie and that pink cow which she is totally in love with. Move over Tyrone! We've got shelly the cow now.

Overall we had a really fun trip, it was full of compromise for me and Jerome. He hates shopping and i wasn't a huge fan of sitting there while he fixed his robot after each match. We were both pretty good sports about it though. We are glad to be home though!
