Heading up soon to San Fran

I'm starting to feel a little nervous about our trip heading back up there that's coming up soon. It's not the actual traveling but the idea of being in a city so far away from home. It will not be our first time going and hopefully not our last. We plan on making this our family tradition for the years to come.
I'm starting to make a list of all the things we'll be needing like clothes, accessories, etc. And also, since were driving up there, the thought of being in a car with a 2 year old for 8 hours does not sound fun. And by not being fun I mean it's freaking me out to think that my daughter will be very uncomfortable sitting in a car seat off and on for 8 hours driving to get up to San Francisco :( 
I know it will all be worth it. We'll have a good time, bring back a bunch of souvenirs, take a bunch of pictures of all the neat things we did. I just have to shake off these jitters!
(Right now shes drawling with a pen on my arm as I type)
Our all time favorite thing to do while being there is visiting fisherman's wharf. What tourist isn't guilty of going there? I'm not a local and am not ashamed of admitting I enjoy walking down that strip of overly overpriced made in china souvenir stores. I really hope we can check out china town and japan town this time. We always tend to run short on time when we go there. I want to try their real Chinese food and dumplings- yum!
Will post pictures of our trip later on.

Magical Place on Earth!!!

Today we went to Disneyland, which was amazingly NOT packed, like it normally is. Note to myself - February is the best month to be here at the most magical place on earth!!! It's days like today where I wish I could live there. Lol! No joke. If I could live in the dream suite I would and dine at club 33 everyday:) Now that is a kids dream.
We only got to hangout for a couple hours though, low on energy big time today. Haven't been getting enough sleep in the past few days and my body finally wanted to rest. Almost knocked out on the ride back home which I never do. No matter how far we've driven I have never taken a nap while the hubby drives. Well today I dosed off here and there. Damn seat gave my neck a cramp by the time we got home.
Didn't have to make dinner thanks to my MIL who made us a small snack. We hungout and got to watch the movie "The Help". Boy, I didn't think it was going to be as great as everyone kept claiming with the newcomer actress Emma Stone leading. And guess what? I was wrong! Best movie I've seen in a loong long time. Great actors! Great script! Great company! Totally recommend it!
Enjoyed my little family very much today. And also got a much needed nap (;
