The Chocolate Festival
Baylee is so good at sharing that she managed to get both myself and then Ben sick. So, that was not the most fun way for us to kick off our weekend. We just had a mellow Friday night so that we could rest up to have a fun Saturday.
Saturday we went to the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival in Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco. First, we stopped off to get our friends Evan, Brooke, and McKenzie Millar. It took us a little longer than we wanted to get to their house becuase we had to stop and get gas first, and our GPS kept sending us to the wrong places. First it sent us to a buisness park area and then to someone's house. We were finally able to locate a Chevron and make it to the Millar's to pick them up and head to San Francisco. When we got there we stopped at Fisherman's Wharf for some lunch, and then walked down to the festival. It was kinda fun that while we were walking to the festival and back people kept handing us free samples. We got some packaged carrotts and ranch and apple slices and grapes on our way, and on the way back we got free granola bars. The festival itself was pretty neat, but crowded, so we didn't really look around too much or stay very long. We bought a tasting coupon, so Ben and I got to get 15 samples of the various things the vendors had. There was mostly cookies and ice cream sundaes or shakes and gelato, although we did get some very tasty toffee and two Ghirardelli carmel chocolate bars. The sample sizes were pretty small, considering our tasting coupon was $20, but the money went to a charity cause, so I can't complain too much. It was fun, but like I said, a little too crowded. What can you expect though, since it was a Chocolate Festival! 
After the Festival, we just headed back toward home. We grabbed a quick dinner and did our shopping for the week, and then had an early bedtime night. We were all pretty worn out and needed the sleep, and it was nice to relax. 
Sunday we had the usual dinner at Ben's parents's house. Baylee loves being around her grandparents and playing with her cousins. She especially loves her cousin Garrett, and it is so cute to see her following him around. He is a good sport and puts up with it. Yesterday, they were sitting in her favorite spot (the stairs), and Garrett just kept talking to her and she was so happy and just kept laughing. SO CUTE! We've been lucky to live by family.
