David and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on the 24th. I can't believe we have been married for 5 years already. It has flown by! It's even crazier to think we have been together for over 9 years!
We always try and go somewhere on our anniversary. I believe it is very important for us to have some time to ourselves, it kind of recharges our relationship. It's so hard to have any quiet time at home, so this was a lovely get away.
I have always wanted to go to San Francisco, so since we are so close now, it was the perfect location. We decided to spend 2 nights in San Francisco and spend 2 in Napa.
We arrived in SF Thursday night. It was late, so we just walked around town a bit. Here's a pic of us in our room.
The next morning we headed out to enjoy the city. Our first stop was to head to the cable cars! It was really fun to ride on them. I'm amazed at how they work, and even more amazed at how many people they try and shove on there.
Next we headed to Fishermans Wharf. It was a really neat place. Not necessarily my favorite (too much seafood), but I'm glad we spent some time here.
After walking around for a while, we had to head back towards the hotel so we could get ready for lunch. We stopped along the way to check out Lombard street. We walked down the steps next to it. It really is beautiful, and I can't believe people live on that street...I'm sure they are VERY expensive.
We had lunch at Boulevard, which was wonderful! We both had filets, and yummy dessert!
After lunch we decided to head back to Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39. There are lots of things to do on the pier, so we decided to spend the rest of our afternoon there. We went to the Aquarium, walked around the shops, and got to see sea lions, Alcatraz, and a the Golden Gate Bridge. Here are the rest of the pictures from that day.
