The Highlight of my summer was the trip Jon and I made to San Fransisco. We went for our 14 year anniversary. I had never been there so we spent most of our time sight seeing. Over the 3 days we were there we estimated that we walked at least 20-25 miles and we biked 20 miles. It made up for the other thing we spent our time doing, EATING. Wow the food there is unbelievable. We found the best restaurants. Jon and I both love food so as we would sit eating breakfast and plan our day around where we wanted to eat. Our favorite place was this little Chinese restaurant in China Town called The Nanking House. We also loved the Italian restaurant called Trattoria Contadina. Of course we had to have the famous clam chowder in a sour dough bread bowl and fried fresh fish on the Wharf. And last, but not least we had to visit Ghirardelli Square where of course we sampled CHOCOLATE. Yes, it's a good thing we both love to exercise.

Did you know that the San Fransisco Trolley is the only National Monument that moves?
The highlight of the vacation for me was the 20 mile bike ride. Well at least the first 10 miles. Did you know that there are many thousands of hills in that city? We started on the Wharf and biked across the Golden Gate Bridge all the way to Sausilitto. The scenery was breath taking. We were planning on catching the ferry back to the city and we missed a turn. We ended up biking another 10 miles to Tiberon. I was really glad we did it even though the hills were tough. The mountains along that side of the bay were so pretty. I welcomed a chance to wear a jacket and soaked in every bit of coolness I could. When we biked into Tiberon we were tired and hungry. We waited in line for the ferry and it was full. So we had to wait another 2 hours. Let me tell ya, if your gonna be stuck somewhere, that's were you want to be stuck. A perfect little bay town. We checked the market for homes. Wow!!! I guess we will be staying in Arizona for now.
I hope this is the closest Jon ever gets to a slammer. We spent an after noon on Alcatraz island. We loved the tour of the jail. We wore headphones which guided us on our tour. It was very interesting and kinda freaky. All and all it was a great time.
The flowers on Lombard Street were the prettiest sight I have ever seen. Hydrangeas as big as my head.

Thanks Jon, for a week-end I will never forget.
