The end...

of my San Francisco trip that is!  The final day of our trip included a visit to the amazing California Academy of Science Museum.  There were so many interesting things to see and learn about.  My favorite of course were the animals found in the four story rain forest ecosystem dome.  I absolutely love all the colors!









Before it got dark, Luis made sure I was able to stop by the Japanese Tea Garden.  We got there literally seconds before they closed the gate.  I wasn't given much time to take it all in, but it was enough to make me happy!  :)

San Fran continues.

So the holidays have had me a little out of the norm with my weekly routine, but it's all over now!  Between today and tomorrow, I will be wrapping up my San Fran adventures!  Day three of our trip we headed out to Alcatraz, then did a little sightseeing in Chinatown.  












As we walked back to our hotel, we passed by a bakery that had these adorably shaped sour dough breads!  It's smelled just as good as they look...



Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!  See you back tomorrow!  :)

I just couldn't resist!

Going out of town was great, but can you tell I missed blogging a bit?

As I mentioned in yesterdays post, my next few post will include pictures from my trip to San Francisco.  Day two on our trip was a day of relaxation.  Not much walking was involved, just a lot of wine, cheese, and bread.  If you haven't already guessed it, we headed out to the famous Napa Valley!

The day started off with a 9:00 am ferry ride.  I thought it would be a little early for wining, but by the time we got to drinking, in Miami time, it was just right! ;)

As we waited for our ride, bird man Luis decided it would be a good idea to feed the birds...  All he needed was to bust out in song and tell me the food was "toppins a bag" (refer to one of my childhood favorite movies Mary Poppins).  It was pretty funny to see such a big galute playing around with the birds, so I of course took advantage of the moment like I always do!

I'm back!!!

It's been a little longer than usual, since my last post.  With good reason of course ;).  Luis (my husband) and I headed out to the GORGEOUS San Francisco this past week.  It was such an incredible trip filled with so many yummy photo spots!  I took waaaaay too many pictures to pick and choose for one post, so what I have decided on doing is sharing them according to our daily activities.  My heart is out of control with excitement and joy to be able to share this experience with all of you.

Day one of our trip to San Francisco, began with a tour of the breath taking Muir Woods.

Here's Luis soaking in all the beauty as we waited for the bus.


About to cross the bridge on our way there!

On our way back, we stopped at the adorable community of Sausalito.




On our way back to the city, we took the ferry...  Isn't the view spectacular??

My date with Dylan

This little stud Dylan was such a trooper!  I had him moving, changing, sitting, laying, doing all kinds of crazy things and all he needed was a ten minute break for some grub.  Unfortunately, the weather was not as easy to work with, so I wasn't able to take him out for a nice stroll in the park.  He didn't let it get to him though! He was such a good sport, his smile brightened up the room so much, I almost forgot how much I love taking pictures outdoors!
