San Fransisco!

As you all should know, we made it safely out to California. As was expected, this first week has been stressful getting settled, organized and getting all of the technicians trained. We celebrated my birthday last weekend by going out to Outback Steakhouse on Friday and watching a movie and then Saturday night after Gabe got home from work we had some cheesecake. We didn't bring any wrapping supplies so Gabe got creative with my presents and hid them around the house and then we played the "hot and cold" game as I found new clothes under couch cushions and in cupboards. It was very sweet :) This week has been really really busy working but we did find some time to squeeze in some fun and make the trip out to San Fransisco. There is a pluthera of photos:

Our first hippie sighting, which was later followed by a gay parade sighting.

Alcatraz in the background here. We hope to make a trip out there sometime this summer.

I was hoping that in this building they would show how to make the chocolate or have chocolate samples or statues made out of chocolate... But they didn't. Chocolate to come later though :)

Here is where the chocolate tasting begins, probably the best chocolate shake I have had in my life.

The view atop the San Fransisco Bridge. Beautiful, but oh so windy!

The famous Lombard Street. It was a lot smaller than I had expected!

San Fransisco was such a cool place to visit, we LOVED it! There is so much to see there and I have a feeling we will be going back to visit quite a few times this summer. There is so much culture there and so much to see. It was a blast!!
