San Francisco!

We went on a little summer getaway with our travel buddies Tyler & Erin. The four of us are all friends going all the way back to high school, but we rarely see them throughout the year so we make it a point to get together every summer to catch up and play a lot of spades, usually alternating something local one year and a trip the next. This year we landed on a long weekend in San Francisco! We had a blast (as always) and time with them is good for our souls (as always).


Day 1: Arrived in time to drive around the city a bit before heading to dinner and a Giants game.

Day 2: Donuts & chocolate milk, Muir woods, burgers on the beach, drive up the coast to Point Reyes Lighthouse.

(it was cold & windy and I hate it when my ears get cold, in case you're wondering why I look like a grandma)

Day 3: wine tasting and spades in beautiful Napa, a lovely drive, olive oil tasting in Sonoma and ice cream on the square. 

(always playing spades... always)

 Fanciest meal we've ever had (which isn't saying much), at Frances, back in San Francisco.

Day 4: San Franciso walking tour. Ferry building, spades in Union Square, China Town, fish & chips at Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, ice cream and spades in Ghirardelli Square, cable car, and the Golden Gate bridge.

Ate ice cream while we played spades

 

 Standing in the long line for the trolley... also playing spades

 

 

Last Day of School

We love the Mother's Day Out program the boys attend three days a week. They both had a great year at school, with wonderful teachers.
