Putting Homebodied-ness on the Shelf

It's been a busy life around here! I plan to post a series of "catch-ups," but we'll see when they actually show up, or how rapid the succession.

My sisters had Spring Break last week, so we all tootled down to San Francisco (my mom, sisters and I) for a few days. And it was so, so fun. Ever a homebody and always a worrier, I was hesitant to go - so hard leaving my kids - but with some gentle coaxing from Nate and the girls...I packed my bag and hopped in the car! Eeeek! I'm so glad I went. (Those are my famous last words at the end of every adventure :) A million thanks to Nana and Nate for keeping the home fires burning.

We ran/walked across the Golden Gate Bridge

Found treasures at Forever 21 at 5th and Market (Lily loves my new "yower" (flower) earrings)

Rode the elevator to the top of the Intercontinental and loved the view from the 30th floor

Saw Wicked at the Orpheum (and I want to see it again tomorrow. I loved it. It was magical.)

Got lost in Sausalito

Bought strawberries at the open air market across from the SF Public Library

(thought of you when i saw these, danielle :)

Blimped ourselves at Ghirardelli Square and strolled along the wharf

Walked up Lombard Street (Once I stopped worrying that our parked car would tip over (so steep!) I was completely enchanted!)

Oh, we had fun. I am a small town girl to my core, but I do love a few days in the city. So much energy. So much history. So many fun things to do, beautiful places to visit.

I love these ladies so much. they were the best part of everything.
