san francisco

we took a weekend trip to san francisco for our anniversary and had a great time. as it should be in a city like this, we were on the go the entire time and exhausted each night. a sample of our activities includes: riding bikes across the golden gate bridge, checking out the marina district and all the forts therein, lunching in sausilito and riding the ferry back, exploring the wharf, sampling ghiradelli square, a night tour of alcatraz, mastering the muni system, falling in love with the local pizza and mediterranean place by our hotel, biking through golden gate park, lots of shopping, a tour of the boudin bakery, and hunting down the transamerica building. we had a blast and put it on our list of places to live one day.

i almost lost it multiple times while riding across the bridge. i'm not good around water! i was pretty sure i was going to die and kept singing primary songs to calm me down.

this is near strawberry field in golden gate park. i am not the focus in this picture, rather the two ladies in the background doing a very active form of yoga that aaron just had to capture.

where's waldo? i posed on the bridge thinking it would be a great picture and kept yelling for aaron to take it, not knowing only 2% of my body was visible. i laugh so hard each time i see this picture.

they billed this place as the Musée Mécanique on the wharft. curisosity led us there and we had a great time. it is an arcade of really old games which were oddly obsessed with execution or fornication. yea for the turn of the century?
bonding with the locals.

puts my baking skills to shame. the bakery tour was the highlight of my trip.

a friend saw this and thought i was holding up a breadstick. oh no, kids, this is a crust from a pizza slice i devoured. cheap, a few blocks from our hotel, and open late. it always hit the spot.

we took so many pictures of alcatraz that i did a separate post.
