We were driving past Seattle when Dave told me to open a package, which ended up being a tour book and map of San Francisco! We were on our way to the airport! I was SO surprised. He is seriously sneaky. I thought for sure we were going to Victoria, BC. I don't know how he became so devious and secretive...should I be worried?! ;) But it was the sweetest surprise ever! 2 nights in San Francisco with no baby and no worries?! Sounds good to me!
We were on the 25th of the 27 floor downtown Hilton. The view was gorgeous.
It was the best weekend to visit. So many things were going on. Our first morning we decided to start out in China Town and randomly came across their Moon Festival celebration - and it was poppin! Parades, dancing dragons, and Chinese food to die for.
AND it was Family Day down at the Marina Green - Kite Flying Contests and all! It made for a pretty picture.
We hiked up Lombard Street to see what all the fuss is about. And actually, it was fun to watch the cars zig zag their way down! Plus the flowers were so pretty. I'll just pretend I didn't get all gross and sweaty on the hike up.
I'm the best photographer ever
Cheesin it up with Alcatraz in the background
Dave and I decided it would be no problem to swim across and escape from Alcatraz if we had to. What's the big deal? ;)
We basically OD'ed on crab. Crab sandwiches, salads, soup, pasta....well you get it (as if we can't get crab in Seattle or something).

And, of course, me with the extra healthy crab and corn chowder bread bowl. Good thing we walked everywhere, right?
Tipsy and tired elevator ride back up after a late night of dinner and wine
We tried to find the Golden Gate, for tourist purposes, but it was hidden all weekend! That bridge is just too shy!
And, the sea lions. Oh my goodness. First, they are smelly. And mean. And LOUD! But oh so fun to watch! They are crazy! They are all trying to catch some zzz's - but continuously wake each other up by bumping into and bugging each other non stop! So crazy. They snarl at each other like death is near.
Just for fun, on the Wharf there was a little boy band called Casino Avenue and they were pretty good! Even if the lead singer's Daddy was taping them with his video camera...and between each song the lead singer would ask his Dad for more water....?! Haha, too cute. They were rockin out though! ;)
Thank you San Francisco! Dave and I fell in love all over again (awwwww) and had a great time. Happy 5th Anniversary Dave! It only feels like the....3rd? Thanks for always thinking Im special enough for surprises :D
