San Fran!!

So back in May we had the opportunity to head to San Francisco for a much needed vacation time for us. We had a GREAT time! San Francisco is a beautiful place, and there were so many things to do. We of course packed every possible thing we could in, and I'm so glad we did! A list of our top ten experiences of the trip:

1. Biking the Golden Gate Bridge...AMAZING!
2. V. Sattui in Napa. It was gorgeous! Napa itself is just beautiful! Picnic behind our hotel, so peaceful and awesome...followed by watching Baby Mama before going to bed. Hilarious!
3. Eating a whole dungeness crab at The Crab House..DELICIOUS!
4. Driving down the Pacific Coast Highway which is just breathtaking
5. While driving on the Pacific Coast Highway stopping in a tiny little town for artichoke garlic bread and garlic and herb goat cheese for lunch. WOW.
6. Taking our own little walking tour of San Francisco all day the first day
7. Driving through Tiburon/Salsalito on our way to Napa..those towns are adorable.
8. Ferry boat out to Alcatraz..and Alcatraz itself. That was so interesting!
9. Creme Brulee in our hotel's restaurant...seems strange but it was awesome!
10. Trolley rides! Those are so fun! LOVED THEM!
11. Scoma's, Pier 39, the sea lions, walking by the bay, walking AND driving down Lombard street.

Ok so there are 11 things...we LOVED it! Picture dump below...

The first day we walked around all these historical ships..

During our walking tour...we didn't plan on it but we covered a stinking ton of the city that day on foot.
During our bike ride across the Golden Gate..just before we came up to it

You may not be able to tell who this is..but this is Grant from Brad's FAVORITE show...Mythbusters! We were able to see them recording an episode outside!

Our last night..
Overall...WE LOVED IT!!!

In other news..we're getting ready to replace the floors in our house. So stinking excited! We're going to rip out the back hallway and office carpet and put in pergo to complete the pergo we already have, and then eventually we'll be pulling up the rest of the carpet and replacing it. If you know me..you know how UNBELIEVABLY happy this makes me! We're hopefully going to repaint all the trim in the house then too...we need it and it's the perfect time to go ahead and finish it. All that's left then is just to paint the rooms we haven't done yet! So we're slow but we like it! Plus...NEW CARPET MEANS NEW A NEW VACUUM!! We never bought a new vacuum when we got married and then when we moved in here the people before us had animals..so I wanted to save the money until we had new carpet..so YAY! That's it for now..hope you have a great week!
