Family trip to San Francisco
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009This last week Danny and I had a great five days with the family in San Francisco. Danny’s mom planned a whole iternary for all of us. Danny’s sister Christina and Ryan and the kids came down.We got to see our little niece and our new nephew Bentley.. he is the perfect baby… he was such a trooper, 6 weeks and he was in the car seat behind the bike going across the Golden Gate Bridge…
The first day we had the intention on renting some bikes and biking across the golden gate bride and then having lunch in Salsalito. We all thought it was going to be a quick ride, but we had to bike to the bridge from the rental place, so it ended up taking over three hours to get across. It actually only took 20 minutes to get across the bridge but the ride to the bridge was a work out, up and down hills, wow were we sore but it was so worth it. It was really fun day.
The next day we went on a tour through China Town. Pretty interesting, I don’t think I will EVER eat meat of any kind in or around China Town after going through some of those markets. We saw a fortune cookie factory. Did you know that Chinese doesn’t even have fortune cookies they actually don’t even know what they are.. Thanks to America propaganda. The tour provided lunch so we went to a China restaurant there in China Town where we had a ton of little appetizers, I wasn’t to excited about it, so I just filled up on Chow Mein, the only thing I recognized. lol. Danny liked it all of course, can always count on him to eat everything.
We did a lot of shopping and walking around on Saturday and then got to finish the night off with the play Wicked. I was so impressed. It was absolutley amazing, a must see if you haven’t. I loved it. It’s playing in the Orpheum Theatre for this month if your interested.
The weekend was great… I love getting to just relax and hang out with the fam. Well it seems we have been doing a lot of that lately. We have been living in our suitcases since coming back from Costa Rica, hopping from my parents to Danny’s parents until we can move into our new place August 1st. It will be so nice to finally get settled, we have literally been living on the go from the time we left for Costa Rica in May. Nuts. Have to admit it’s an adventure but a very fun one. Were off camping with my family this weekend up at Big Trees in Calaveras. One more weekend until real life begins. Danny got a job working in Oakdale for a Gun and Accessory wholesaler, where he will run up all their marketing. He’s excited to finally get going in his career. Now we only have me to get through school, it’s so nice to have him graduated. I don’t have to go back to school for another month so I get to play house wife until my real life begins. 🙂
