San Francisco

April 16th was mine and David's 5th wedding anniversary. We thought that it was a great time to get away for a little rest and relaxation and exploration of a city neither of us have every been too. So early in the morning on the 16th; 3:30 am to be exact we awoke to get ready to take a very early flight from Charlotte to San Francisco via Houston. We had a wonderful five days and four nights in a beautiful city. The weather cooperated the entire weekend; blue skies, no humidity, no pollen, and low-mid 70s. We walked and walked; enjoyed almost every meal outside; and saw almost every known site to see in San Francisco. We visited Pier 39 and saw the sea lions, went to the top of Coit Tower, crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge, walked through the tulip garden at Golden Gate Park, saw the Pacific Ocean (which it was too cold to go in); went to Alcatrez; drank Irish Coffee at Buena Vista, rode the Cable Car; and did I mention WALKED! We also window shopped in Union Square; David wasn't about to let me relly shop at Tiffany's, Sak's, Louis Vuitton; he quickly reminded me that our trip was our anniversary gift to each other (haha). So instead we shopped in China Town and walked through the Italian District as we passed Lomabard Street. Unfortunatley, if I posted all the pictures from the trip your computer would never load; as I believe there are somewhere around 600 pictures that David needs to go through and edit and/or delete some of. .
