So we ended our trip the way it started - with a big red bridge! We are not ready to come home but we've spent all our money and eaten our way out of our clothes so it's probably for the best 😢 it really has been the trip of a lifetime! #sadface #travel #california #hometime #sanfrancisco #goldengatebridge

Joining the gang of sugar skulls - our improvised Halloween costume consisting of eye shadow, just eye shadow... Needless to say the removal was fun 😂 #happyhalloween #halloween #sugarskull #couplescostume (at The Mission District)

So is our last night in Vegas tonight so before we go out and gamble everything we own I thought I should mention that yesterday was so overwhelming and possibly the best day of my life! We won $100 before 10am, went on a helicopter ride in the front seats, landed in the Grand Canyon and then just to finish it off saw probably the best show I have ever seen! (I cried - Jack had 'sore eyes')! The best day of my life with the best person hashtag lovehim #vegas #grandcanyon #iflypapillon #helicopter #hooverdam #lasvegas #travel (at Las Vegas, Nevada)

The panda was getting in he mood for Halloween and eating a pumpkin which he then dropped so decided to stick with bamboo @sandiegozoo #sandiego #panda #pandabear #sandiegozoo (at San Diego Zoo)

Just amazed by the polar bears at @sandiegozoo! We just stood and watched them swimming in amazement for ages! #sandiego #polarbears #sandiegozoo (at San Diego Zoo)

Look at the size of these bad boys! I didn't even eat a third of these - jack couldn't believe a meal defeated me so well! #cafe222 #sandiego #breakfast #foodies #travel #blueberrypancakes (at Cafe 222)

Bye bye to San Diego - probably the best place I have ever been. We have crammed so much in the last few days... icecream sandwiches, waterfront cycling, toe breakages (nearly), polar bears, seafood, a brief Mexican encounter (kind of), paddle boarding, elephants, launderettes (dont even go there), line dancing, sky bars, beach bars, a mini Italy, pandas and the worlds biggest pancakes! I love this place but we are now off to Palm Springs for a few days of relaxing and getting even fatter than we already have! #stayclassysandiego #sandiego #california #travel #roadtrip (at San Diego, California)

You haven't heard much from #Lego Jack & Catherine because they forgot to post their aquarium photo and then went on a bit of a bender and racked up a $300 bar bill with the students in San Lois Obispo! They have just about recovered now though and were so excited to visit #downtowndisney today #disney #losangeles #disneyla #minifigure #california #travel #roadtrip (at Downtown Disney)

It's been another epic day involving minions, fire, Simpsons, traffic, sightseeing, water, more traffic and much more! So full on and now in need of an early night! Currently waiting for jack to buy our not so #in-n-out burger to have for supper! Also I think today is my first day with no alcohol! #stoptober 😂😁#fattysunday #innoutburger #usa #california #minions #universal #travel (at In-N-Out Burger - West Los Angeles)

Last nights dinner... Doesn't look the most appetising but we were recommended the #sidecar deep fried Brussel Sprouts with blue cream cheese, balsamic dressing and alioli 3 times yesterday in #sanloisobispo (#slo)... so we succumb! And they were weirdly so goooood!!! (at Sidecar)
