A little late is better than never, right? Here's some pictures from our weekend in San Francisco. We had a wonderful and quiet time together with beautiful weather in a truly fun city. We are so very thankful to Debby for once again taking on the task of watching our kids, it is a wonderful gift to have a grandma that lives in the same town and honestly loves spending time with our crazy munchkins. We would be a little more insane if it were not for the "breaks" she so generously gives us!
Here we are in Ghiradelli Square, an absolute must for us when we come to the city. I'm quite certain that the individual who took our picture did not speak any English because he totally missed getting the huge Ghiradelli sign, but atleast he got us in the photo!
We were so excited to go see this show, and we were so happy it worked out to meet up with Paul and Bethany to all go together. We went to an A's game earlier in the day, so we weren't sure how the timing would all work out, but I'm so glad we were able to enjoy dinner together first so we could actually visit with one another.
It was intermission and the guys were in the bathroom, so I asked the lady behind us to take our picture. She was not thrilled at all, but reluctantly did. Then when the guys returned, they reminded us of the whole "no flash" rule and I realized why she was a little upset, but it was an honest mistake, and its kinda cool to be able to see the stage and dragon behind us.
The newlyweds, married one week, hanging out with the old boring couple:).
We finally stood in line to ride the trolley car. I don't know why we have never done this together before because it's such a classic San Francisco tourist thing, but now we've done it and have learned the best ways to avoid the long lines in the future.
Another San Francisco first for me- driving across the Golden Gate Bridge. I've seen it before, gone to the park and stuff, but never actually crossed it. Kevin couldn't remember doing it before either, although he's pretty sure he must have at some point when he was younger. We had fun in the cute town of Sausalito on the other side, and then had to drive just a little further to Mill Valley so I could go to the Tyler Florence Kitchen Store.
This was the view of Union Square from our hotel room, 11 stories up. It was quite cooler in person, but most scenery pictures are. We had a great time and look forward to our next escape together whenever that might be. I'm so thankful for a husband who makes such an effort to continually grow our marriage when it would be so easy to get lost in the business of rearing 3 kids. He helps me to remember that our kids benefit from our investing in one another as well, as they are learning from us what marriage is, and the importance of making one another a priority is a huge part of a healthy marriage. What a truly blessed wife I am!
