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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

There are hundreds of exhibits, and all [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
