I know that it has taken me a long time to post a blog-I really don't have a good excuse! Being tired, pregnant, and chasing a very busy toddler are my only excuses.
So, last month my mom and I went to San Francisco. My mom has a tumor on her eye and that is where the specialist is located. Anyway, so they ran a lot of tests while we were there and decided that it was a type of melanoma, which required her to have surgery while we were there. They placed some metal rings around the tumor (which are not visible from the outside) and she is actually on her way back from California again right now after finishing with her radiation treatments. Everything has gone very well, and hopefully she won't have to go back too much more! I am just very thankful that they caught it early and her vision should not really be affected.
We did have some time to play while we were there though! Neither of us had been there before, so it was definately a new experience. I don't think I would ever want to move there. I had to do most of the driving and the traffic was horrible. I like Idaho and Utah driving. It is nothing compared to that! I guess I have been sheltered!
We found the Golden Gate Bridge and drove over it, just to say we had been on it. It was a lot bigger than I expected and the view was awesome! It is hard to tell much in the picture due to the rain and fog.
We also went to pier 39 and fisherman's wharf. That was a lot of fun and we sure did a lot of walking that day. It was December so they were also having some sort of Santa Claus convention. I don't thing I have ever seen so many Santas in one place before.
I just had to add this picture so you could see what my mom looks like with a patch on her eye. This was the day after her surgery, right before she got the patch taken off. Oh, and she is standing by our cool rental car!
