I left my {baby} in {Utah}

That's right! I got to spend 2 1/2 days in San Francisco! Josh had a work conference there, so he flew out on Tuesday and I flew out Thursday to meet up with him. It was so beautiful and so much fun! We did leave Logan at his Grandma's house, but it was a short little trip and much less complex to travel without him, especially on Friday when we rode crowded public bus all the way across town.


The Golden Gate bridge, of course, which is beautiful as ever. We walked all the way along a beach with a great view of the bridge. It is beautiful with a calm little beach right in the middle of the big city.

On Thursday night we were able to go to the Wharf, we took a taxi there, and the driver was hilarious and crazy. He would speed race up and down each hill and intersection the whole way there. He started randomly laughing and talking in broken English (we think he was listening to NPR or something). His breaks started stinking and smoking half-way through the ride and he starting laughing hysterically at the whole situation. He plugged his nose and made jokes about his cheap breaks that had been outsourced across the sea! Although we loved the taxi ride, on the way back we took a cable car for the true tourist experience!



We ate at a restaurant up about 3 flights of stairs overlooking the wharf, but we didn't take a picture until it was too dark! It was really pretty nice, and I had smoked salmon with a mango and papaya salsa on top. It was delicious! Food is one of my favorite things about traveling!


I love water and I especially love the harbor with all the boats lined up!

We stayed at a really nice hotel, called the Westin St. Francis . . .


this was the view from our 27th floor room! The best part was the elevators going up were made of glass so as you rode you could see the city.


Sadly, we didn't eat at this restaurant. We looked at a list of places to eat in San Francisco on Food Network.com and realized that this incredibly nice restaurant was in the lobby of our hotel! We found a menu online before we left, read it over and seriously considered going, but at $98 a plate before tip and any extras we decided not to. Someday, I want to go to a restaurant like this. This time we just caught a glimpse of the process of eating in such a fancy place, but I did take a picture!

We did go to one little restaurant on the list called Osha Thai Cafe on Friday night. It was delicious Thai food and we only paid just over $20 for both of us for dinner. I had red curry with prawns and Josh had Pad Thai. It was very, very tasty! That is cheaper than here!



We didn't go in Tiffany & Co., but I did take a picture of the window display!

On Saturday morning we just walked around Union square and looked in some of the shops like, Williams-Sonoma, Levi's, Macy's, and Nike world. This is what my kitchen will look like someday!

It really is and ipod vending machine! Josh said he had heard of them before, but never seen one before. This one was in the cellar of Macy's!

One more post will complete our travelogue to San Francisco!

That looks like fun! I bet it was hard leaving Logan while you were gone, but I bet you guys had a ton of fun being by yourselves! The food sounds delicious! Dad thought it was really funny that all three kids were in the pacific time zone. (haha)! The Ipod machine is great! Looks like you had a great time!

I'm so glad that you guys had an awesome time in San Francisco! I was thinking about you guys this weekend and I was hoping it was great. I'm missing our walks. I'm hoping I'll be conscience soon.

I love all of your pictures. Looks like you had a blast! I'm glad you got to go. Spending one on one time with each other is so wonderful (and important!) when you have kids.

A Couple of Updates

I haven't been very involved in the online world very much in the recent months. I haven't been feeling very well. I had mostly rejoined the feeling-better society and getting excited for the ultrasound which we had yesterday on January 15th. Yes, I am Pregnant!!! 20 weeks to be exact and I had gone to 4 doctors appointments and heard the heartbeat several times. Josh and I went to the ultrasound anxious to find out the gender, because we are planners of course. I got situated and the person doing the ultrasound put the wand on my belly and I looked up at the monitor and saw two circles. (I wish we had a picture of that, but we don't have that exact one) In my mind I said, "that is two heads." She said, "Oh, did you guys know you were having twins?" Josh turned, because he had not seen the two heads on the monitor yet and said, "Uh, no". And she said, "Well, you are!" Surprise. A few moments later we found out it was two girls. Wowza.

Josh Had a Birthday, Shout Hooray!

I am so lucky to have these two guys in my life! I hope you had a good birthday yesterday, Josh!

100th Post!

And Josh and I have been married for 4 years, Wahoo! I am so lucky to have Josh! He is strong where I am weak and somehow manages to make everything right whenever he's around. Most of all what I love having in him is a best friend. He watches my silly shows with me and makes me feel like the coolest girl around. In case you don't know how we met . . . be sure to always attend institute, and choir while you're at it. Josh joined the Orem Institute choir for the summer with a couple of his buddies, mostly to meet some women :) Well, Josh wasn't so lucky, but his friend was and ended up getting married, where Josh was the best man. I came to the wedding reception (I knew Emily from LD Singers, a choir through the Ephraim Institute) . . . and later Josh hinted that he wouldn't mind being set up on a date with me. 11 months later Josh and I were married! Thanks Jon and Emily!
