Hope your weekend is awesome. I'm sure it will be

Thank you!

It was an awesome weekend. For sure, for sure. In lots of ways. But man, the weather in S.F. this weekend was gorgeous. I don't have many photos, but I do have a couple to share from Pier 39 that I will post ... maybe tomorrow morning.

I can hardly wait. I love Pier 39 and I haven't been since I was pregnant with Kacy. It has been over 18 years.

Wow! That's a long time not to go. I love it there. But I like it when all the Seal Lions are out. There was a small clump of them still.

I think after the first of the year we are going to go. I haven't walked Pier 39 or Fisherman's Wharf for too long. Last time I did the tourist thing in the city we went to the Cannery, which is a cool shopping area.

The last time I was in SFO was 1998. I think it's time I went back. I also spent 10 days in San Jose but that was back in 1991. It's really time I saw more of California than just DL!

The true tragedy and joke of my not doing it? I live only 45 miles from San Francisco.

I could say the same thing I rarely go into the city, even though I love it.

Me too. And when I do I always wonder why I stay away so long.

It's such an easy trip with BART for me that I wonder why I so rarely go into S.F. I've actually been twice this year now, lol. That's big for me. Well, three times if you count each individual day since we did the WDFM on Saturday and Pier 39 on Sunday (yesterday). What I would love to do is get back to the zoo sometime.

So, I literally have like ... 3 photos from this weekend to share. I am beginning to notice the lack of photos when I'm spending time with Jason. Now I just need to figure out how to get them off the new Nikon P&S.

Gee one wonders if your mind might be on other things?

I know!! It just couldn't be!!

So, I spent a pretty awesome day in San Francisco yesterday, taking Bart to meet up with a pretty awesome person in Oakland, and then heading out to Pier 39 which is always a fun thing, especially when the sun is shinning. If you ever get a chance to, I highly recommend it. There is a lot to do if that's your thing (Aquarium of the Bay, Alcatraz, etc.), and it's a fun place to just relax if that's more your style (a.k.a. if you're like me). It's a pretty lengthy walk down the Embarcadero if you take BART, but it's along the water and you've got a great view all around you.

Here are a couple of photos from this weekend:

One of my favorite spots at Pier 39 is where the Sea Lions are. November is a little too late in the year to see them compared to when I usually go into S.F. which is the summer. But some of these guys were rewarded with warm weather.



Boudin at Fisherman's Wharf! I love seeing what they can make out of sourdough bread. And it's the same sourdough that you'll find in DCA at their Boudin Bakery (and make sure you go on the tour).

Yay. I love your pictures. And the teddy bear bread oh my goodness.
