san francisco - check

over the past few days stacey and i have done A LOT
AND
several are things we've never done!

we rode in an old refurbished street car ...



we rode the cable cars ...

while standing ...

A LOT!!

we went to a giants game ...
and learned that it can be VERY chilly in CA ...
AND the fog even comes into the stadium ;)



we went to lombard street ...

and saw the 'crookedest street' ever ...

we rode over the golden gate bridge ...

AND
we went to see 'the rock' ...
alcatraz



and feel what a creepy



and miserable place that it must've been!

just the wind on the island alone was UNREAL!

i'm secretly really GLAD the night tour was sold out when we booked
because i honestly cannot even imagine going home and sleeping right after ...
YIKES!



***

i don't know if i'd choose san francisco
as a top vacation destination ;)
BUT ...
i am glad that stacey had the conference that he did ...

i got to cross a few things off my list of things i want to see and do -
AND i got to explore and enjoy a very interesting urban setting

with the busy-ness of school right around the corner
it was PERFECT to get a little time to just hang out and be together!

we are re-engergized
kind of ;)
we just have sore legs
and
a lot to do in the next 5 days ;)
and we are ready for a new school year!

SO ...
goodbye san francisco!

i'm thankful for the memories ...
but excited to be back where we belong ;)
