Marissa's Sacramento Field Trip

Marissa and I had so much fun on her trip to Sacramento. It was a true blessing to get to go. Marissa did so well monitoring her diet on her own. She was very responsible and made her formula and traveled with it. The chaperone's were very impressed.
Marissa and I went up the day before the class left so we could spend the day with our friends. They picked us up from the airport and we thought we were off the the mall for a mini facial. Well, they had a surprise in store for us. The drove us to San Francisco. Marissa not only got to experience our state Capital, but The Golden Gate Bridge, the Oakland Bay Bridge, Lombard Street, Fisherman's Wharf & Ghiradelli Square. Marissa was so excited to be on The Golden Gate Bridge that she wanted to call her teacher and tell her all about it. I took Marissa to meet her class on Saturday AM and she was off to see the Capital and then off to the American River for a camp out. I met her back at the airport on Sunday night and they had many fun experiences to tell about.
The only hitch in the trip was that we got stuck at the airport coming home. The flight was delayed 2 hours which put us back in San Diego at 12:00 AM. Then there was the LONG school bus ride home. Yes, the school bus really only goes 55 miles per hour and rides the the slow lane. At 12:30 AM it seems like an eternity before we get past an off ramp. Needless to say, we were in bed by 1:45 AM.
I'm sad it is over but feel so blessed Marissa was able to experience such fun and learn so much along the way. Thanks so much to our friends and family that made this trip possible for Marissa. She truly earned her money for the trip because of your generosity....for that we will always be forever grateful!
