San Francisco

On July 31st it will be me and Sam's 2 year anniversary. Since Sam has to work that weekend , but we both had time off a couple weekends before, we decided to celebrate early and take a trip to San Francisco. It was a blast! It is such a fun city with so much to do and see. We took a tour of Alcatraz which Sam LOVED! It was really cool to see and learn the history behind it. We went to the Muir Woods and saw amazing redwood trees. We saw the Golden Gate Bridge. We spent a few hours on Pier 39 which was really cool. They had shops and restraunts all along the Pier and a group of docks that the sea lions come to lay on. We ate at a seafood place right on the pier where Sam ordered crab. They brought him out the whole crab, head and all, smothered in garlic and butter. Sam was in Heaven! He had garlic and butter up to his elbows! It was hilarious watching him eat! I wished I had taken a picture :) We shopped in china town and got some awesome deals. I even drug Sam to see the broadway production of Wicked, which I LOVED SO MUCH, and Sam was a good sport to go -he liked it too, but he won't admit it :) It was a great trip! Happy early anniversary Sam! I love you so much and my life is amazing because you are in it! Thanks for being my rock through the good and bad. I love you forever, for always, and no matter what!

These tunnels made us laugh! The picture needs no explanation... Welcome to San Francisco :)


Alcatraz



this was the actual dummy head that was used and the hole dug with a spoon through the vent where 3 inmates escaped


The Muir Woods. This forest was amazing! The redwoods were over 200 feet tall and some were over 1200 years old!

my husband the tree hugger haha :)





Driving in San Fran was CRAZY!!! (and Sam thought Orem was bad) This sign made me laugh! Who has time to remember what day it is then what time it is, to figure out if they can turn left or not :)
