San Francisco

Two weekends ago Todd and I were able to get away for a few days to San Francisco. Our amazing families watched all three of our kids for us. I felt like we were on a date for four days straight. It was Todd's first time to San Francisco and I haven't been there in years. My parents grew up just outside of the city and when I was growing up it felt like my second home. I loved being back.

We took these pictures by Ghirarhdelli Square where we had some yummy, but really strong hot chocolate.

We went to the most amazing farmers market at the Ferry Building by the Bay Bridge. I could've just stayed and ate at the market all day and spent a fortune on cheese. Weird, but it looked so good.

We went to the De Young Museum to see an exhibit of post impressionist artwork on loan from Paris. I love art. It was amazing to see originals by Renoir and Van Gogh.

The museum is in the middle of The Golden Gate Park and there are two other museums by it.

Other highlights of our trip: shopping, yummy food, beautiful city, cable car riding Full House style in the pouring rain, going to or renting movies every night, celebrity sightings, culture shock in China town and tourist shock in Fisherman's Wharf.
