San Francisco

Last Thursday, Princess, Drummer Boy, and I flew to San Francisco to spend a few days with Leigh. It was a long flight to CA and back, but well worth a few days of sight-seeing and spending time with Aunt Leigh. We spent all day Friday doing typical tourist stuff. We rode the BART into downtown San Francisco and then took the Trolley to Ghiradelli square, where we indulged in some delicious chocolate treats!

From there, we hiked up some of the steepest San Francisco streets to Lombard street, the "crookedest street in the world". (Drummer Boy had to carry Princess on his shoulders on the really steep streets. What a workout!!) From there, we walked through Little Italy and found a great little restaurant for some authentic Italian pizza. After a walk through Chinatown, we were exhausted and ready for a little rest in our hotel and a nice dinner with Leigh and her boyfriend.

Saturday morning we spent with Leigh and Apache. It was great to see Princess slowly warm up to Apache. She even helped Leigh groom him, including picking his feet! And before we left, Princess let Pach eat a cookie from her hand! Slowly but surely, Leigh is going to get Princess over her fear of animals. :)

After visiting Apache, we stopped at Stanford for a little peek at the campus. Then we had a great sushi lunch at a little place in San Mateo.

From there, we went to check out the Golden Gate Bridge. It was beautiful, but a huge PAIN to get to!! We finished out the afternoon walking around Golden Gate Park. We were (again) exhausted and ready for a nice dinner with Leigh at another great restaurant.

We had a really wonderful time with Leigh, and Drummer Boy and I enjoyed our QT with Princess. It was a great weekend and we are so thankful to our family for watching Pumpkin for us while we were gone.
