San Francisco : Random Things

1. I love Peet’s coffee, and have found my replacement for Timmy’s while I am down here. Totally fantastic, dark, strong coffee. I am bringing back a bunch of beans so I can have some for a month or two when I get home.
2. I want to move to either Nob Hill, or Marina Drive [...]

San Jose : Winchester Mansion

Today we traveled to San Jose, about 30 miles away from where we are staying, and dropped Mike and the kids off at the Children’s  Discovery Museum. Unfortunately those pictures won’t be coming till we get home as we had to split the cameras, Mike took my dads and I, since my 3rd baby never [...]

San Francisco : California Academy of Sciences

Everything here in this hilly, foggy but beautiful city, takes an entire day to visit, I see this now, very clearly, through the fog even.  If you ever decide to visit San Francisco (or just up and move here, like I want to) and you peruse all these tourist attractions online or in a brochure, [...]

San Francisco : Fishermans’ Wharf

Yum. Man, if you love seafood, then this is THE place to be! Of course there is so much more to the Wharf, but that was my favorite part. I didn’t even partake in the vendors that sell every kind of seafood imaginable, I was headed to Bubba Gumps for lunch, come hell or high [...]

San Francisco : Exploratorium

I love this city, I really do. The amount of kid-friendly things to do are astounding! Today while Mike was at his WordPress Camp, my dad and I took the kids to the Exploratorium, which was on my list to see and do. This place was indescribably amazing! There are hundreds of exhibits, and all [...]

San Francisco : Golden Gate Bridge

Since we were crazy and pushed ourselves to get here early, we were able to get up…have breakfast….and then do something touristy for the morning. We only had a few hours until we had to meet Mike at the airport, so we decided to go to the most famous bridge in the world, the Golden [...]

Twin Falls Idaho: Snake River

This is where we went back to, the scenic viewpoint, and it was well worth the slight backtracking and time that it took up. I didn’t edit these photos since I am on Mike’s laptop, but they look even more gorgeous when the colors are more real to life.
Of course there was no way to [...]

Twin Falls, Idaho

What an absolutely gorgeous drive it is through Montana. It has to be the most breathtaking scenery I have ever driven through, and I have gone through our own Rockies many times on our side  of the border. The road is a wonderful, non-stressful twinned highway, with wondrous views, amazing foothill ranching areas and beautiful [...]

Talk About Weird Luck

This was just weird. What are the odds that as you run into a small city Walmart, aka the Airdrie one, that you are going to not only see a table stacked with a book that you wanted to read, but the author sitting at said table doing a book signing? Seriously, w-e-i-r-d luck. I [...]

Bloodsucking Helicopters

Oh, wait, those weren’t helicopters…those were the giant,man-eating mosquitos out here on the acreage that were swarming around my head, looking for a vien. Damn. If anyone is gonna be looking for a vein, its Edward, thanks. For a second I thought I was in Manitoba, I am so citified sometimes I forget they are [...]
