Big Trees and Stuff

We went to San Francisco for the 4th of July.

Again.

We went last year for Sarah's Birthday. Then Nancy was in town this year. It was a blast, though an entirely different experience since we were in the city for 4 full days this year.

Billy and Avery came up for the day on Saturday. Billy went to the ballpark to helplessly watch the Astros get spanked by the Giants...it was pretty bad. The Astros didn't even score. While Billy was at the game, I went to the Airport to pick up Nancy and we went to the Farmers Market on the Embarcadero and then to Fisherman's Wharf. After visitng for a few hours and a quick nap, Billy and Avery headed home to Marysville late Saturday and Nancy and I ran the city streets for 4 full days.



Bye Bye Nancy

We went to Muir Woods and Sausalito, Golden Gate Park and Crissy Field, Ghiradelli Square, Chinatown, and Little Italy. We visited Haight and Ashburry...and drove on Lombard Street. We drove south outside the city along the Pacific Coast Highway...There isn't much that we didn't visit or do. Nancy said no museums, so we steered clear. Mostly, we just wanted to explore without having to stick to a schedule....



A stop along Pacific Coast Highway...



Freezing at the Bridge

All in all it was a fun 4 days. We slept until 1000, ate breakfast at 1100, lunch at 4pm and dinner at 9 or 10pm. We stayed up late, We talked a lot and drank alot at dinner. We wandered around and took tons of ridiculous pictures. I am so glad she came up for a visit. It has been since Kadin's funeral that we had seen eachother...and I think 2004 since she last visited us in Florida.




Buena Serra!



Billy was an awesome husband and took care of the princess in grand style while I was gone. When I saw her today, she seemed so much older and bigger. I just saw her on Saturday. How could she have grown so much in 4 days?

I just got a text from Nancy. She made it home to Dallas. Guess I should get ready for bed...I have to get back to being responsible and grown-up and go to work tomorrow....ewwww.

What a fun trip! And I just read in an older post that Billy is training with TNT. That is awesome! I ran the Nike Women's marathon in San Francisco with TNT and it was amazing. Good luck to him and please let me know how I can donate.
