On April 2nd I turned 20 something..... According to my blog title... haha ok 28. I need to milk the "20 somethings" as long as I can OK! Now leave me alone!! Being that Easter was the 4th it was a bad weekend for us to do much of anything for my birthday so we decided to plan a little get away for the following weekend!
Chris was able to get Friday off and we went to San Francisco for the weekend. This was something I was particularly excited about!! We used to go to SF a LOT when we lived over in Martinez. We would hop on "BART" and 40 minutes later we were in the city for a nice date. Not so easy being at least 2 hours away now. So it's been a good 4 years since Chris and I have been able to do this which has made me sad!
We decided to drive the "long" way in and avoid the Giants opening day traffic and go across the Golden Gate Bridge. Chris had never driven this way so it was a nice little drive! The weather was GORGEOUS!! We visited the
Walt Disney Family Museum at the Presidio when we got into town and it was just AWESOME!!! If you ever have a chance to go, you must! I was a little bummed that we weren't allowed to take any pictures but it was def worth the trip over there!! They told us it would take us about 2 hours to go through and I thought to myself "no way" when I heard that but sure enough... about 2 hours later we found ourselves exiting!
After we left the museum we decided to be a little "touristy" and do things that we had never done even though we had lived in the bay area most of our lives! We drove down
Lombard Street and after we checked into our hotel and walked around a bit we rode the
Powell St Cable Car over to
Ghirardelli Square. Yes we had never done either of those things!! lol
Saturday we met up with Nic and Melissa and my childhood friend Derek and his wife Tahnee for lunch at Joes Crab Shack. Derek and I grew up together in Madera and he is now an
awesome photographer! He did pics of my girls in July and is going to photograph Nic and Melissa's wedding. They were meeting up in the City that day to shoot some engagement photos! After watching the
Bush Man for a while, We had a fun and embarassing lunch (that involved me doing the hula for my bday thank you Melissa) and then headed our seperate ways.
Saturday night we went to the Giants home night opener at AT&T Park! It was the first game the Chris and I have gone to alone in probably over 5 years! I love going to games. I love the atmosphere, smells, sights and sounds. Especially with the views of San Francisco Bay in the background! It was especially awesome because we got to see the ceremony for Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum recieving his
CY Young award for the 2nd year in a row! The game was dissapointing as they lost and we had some exceptionally annoying fans around us, but all in all we enjoyed the time together!
Sunday we had a nice drive home and got to enjoy dinner and a movie before we went home to the girls who were really happy to see us! It seemed like Bella's vocabulary expanded over the weekend and she babbled all night telling us all about HER weekend!
Here are some pictures of our trip!
