San Francisco 2011 {Part 2}

9/12-15, Monday - Wednesday

Monday

We started our 2nd day in Tiburon by finding a nice little cafe to have breakfast. We picked right because it was very delicious - both the lattes and the food.

After breakfast we decided to take a couple of complimentary bikes out for a ride around the town.

Aren't they cute?! I took the purple one.

We saw this cute deer.

Isn't this the most amazing house!

Some other favorite sights.

That is a family crest in the middle of the stain glass.

I loved this district of Tiburon.

We finished our bike ride and headed to the pool for some relaxing time.

After a couple of hours we went back into town to walk around and decide on dinner.

We ended up eating at Guaymas Restaurant. It was unusual, but good Mexican food. We had some really good, spicy prawns and chicken & steak skewers with rice & beans & fresh tortillas.

There was also a beautiful moon this night.

It was a perfect day!

Tuesday

Darin got up early to catch the 6:50a ferry back into San Francisco for his conference. I took my time getting up and getting ready. It looked like it was going to be more of an overcast day. I went and had breakfast and decided that I would just go ahead and catch the next ferry after I checked out. I left Tiburon at 11:20a and got off at Pier 41 to tourist around there.

I didn't feel like being too touristy, so I made my way down the pier back toward the Ferry building and lunch at Gordon Biersch. Here are a few sights I saw while making my very long way down there.

Ok, so that is the end of the photos. :-) It is so hard not to take a ton and then not post them.

I met up with Darin at 6p that evening and we went out for a decadent meal at Morton's.

It was a perfect ending to our trip.

Wednesday

I decided that I wanted to catch an earlier flight. I missed my kids. I was supposed to leave at 7:30p that evening, but it was just too late. The 5p flight was overbooked, so I ended up with a "same day confirmed" (they no longer do stand-by) at 1p.  I didn't even end up leaving my room until I headed to the airport at 10:30a. I hung out at the airport for quite a while. The flight ended up being 30 minutes late. I finally landed in Seattle at 3p.

I didn't tell Patty that I was coming home early, so I surprised them. :-) Zach was the most excited. He has a hard time when Mommy is gone. Sweet boy. I got home in time to get them dressed for soccer and take them to practice.

I always think that September is going to be slower then our busy Summer, but that is never the truth. It really never slows down. It is just a constant humming of activities.

It was another fabulous trip to SF!
