8 Years and Counting!

Today is our 8th anniversary. We've done a lot in our 8 years of marriage. According to my calculations we've lived in 4 different states and 6 different homes. We've driven accross the country together twice and we've taken trips all over the U.S. (from California to Vegas to Colorado to New York, etc.) but only recently did we finally take our first trip together out of the country (Cancun, Mexico counts, right?).

But for our anniversary we decided to stay local and spend the night in San Francisco to do some touristy site seeing and to see Wicked! I very much enjoyed the show, it was fabulous. Steve's reaction . . . "It was weird." But he seemed to enjoy it enough while we were there, enough so that I'm hoping we'll go again when we're in New York for Thanksgiving.

The amazing view of the Bay Bridge from our hotel window! We NEVER have good views from our hotel rooms, we always end up with a view of the building next door or the alley or parking lot, this was such an awesome surprise!

The view from the other window. The Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge.


Our hotel, the Hyatt Regency. I love this hotel, so strange but so interesting.

I thought this "Les Croissants" place looked like a fun place to grab some breakfast . . . until I saw the last part of the sign, take a look. "Pastries, Donuts, Espresso, and VIETNAMESE SANDWICHES." Um, no. I mean, I'm not saying Vietnamese sandwiches aren't good, I'm just saying I'm not eating a donut at the same place that specializes in Vietnamese sandwiches, that's too weird!

Street view of two things San Francisco is famous for: the cable car and the insanely steep hills.

The high voltage cables just above our heads on the touristy open-top bus tour.

The Transamerica Pyramid.

Chinatown. I didn't know it is the largest Chinatown outside of Asia. The things you learn as locals on these tours.

Happy Anniversary babe! We've made it 8 years, what's another 60 or 70 more? ; )
