The San Francisco Treat...

Ok, so Monday, September 22nd...Rich celebrated his 30th birthday and no...he didn't get Rice-a-roni...but we did go to San Francisco. The weekend was filled with all things "touristy".

We ate, we drank, we visited with family, we walked, we boated, we flew, we taxied...we did it all. Our weekend started with little fib from me...that we were going on a road trip. Here's some pictures from our journey.

The night before we left...Rich packing away.

6:30 AM on Saturday...

Rich was clueless for about the first 30 minutes of the trip...that was until we ended up at my aunt and grandma's house...i.e. our shuttle to the airport. Thanks for the taxi service to the airport Aunt Roxy!

Here's Rich at 7:30 am...ready for the weekend.
The cat was out of the bag and we were
off to San Francisco.

Waiting to board...
Rich looks a little "bored"!

We arrived and headed to the Wharf.

The sign was on the pier...
too funny!

A cool boat.

The Sourdough factory...

Us with the Golden Gate Bridge...
on our boat cruise of the Bay!

A little windblown...but inside now.

Saturday night...after our Bay Cruise...we headed back to the hotel and cleaned up and went to dinner at Terzo. If you are ever in the area, this is a MUST do...it was amazing.

Sunday morning came...and I had another little surprise up my sleeve. I told Rich that we were waiting for a tour bus and that they were going to call...we waited for a bit...and Knock, knock, knock. His sister Becky and nephew Ty had come to surprise him...

so we headed back down to Fisherman's Wharf for the day with Becky and Ty.

On the walk down..Rich, Becky and Ty.

Posing with Alcatrez...

Checking out some museum information on a Submarine.

Getting ready to board the Submarine.

Ahoy matey...we're on board.

Cool Trolley

After the Sub tour, we headed to Ghirardelli Square
for Waffle cones and Chocolate!!!

Becky and Ty headed home on Sunday evening and Rich and I headed out for some cocktails...and by some, I mean A LOT. We walked over to dinner at UMAMI (best Miso soup ever) and then over to Silver Clouds and had a night cap. We tried to hit Taco Bell on the way home...but missed it by one block, and had to settle for vending machine snack.

Monday morning we got up early...went to breakfast and decided to walk Lombard Street....

Here's the "little" hill that we hiked!

But what a pay-off.
The "crookedest" street in the world.
Lombard Street...
Been there, done that!

Off to Rich's Birthday Surprise...a Sea Plane tour over the bay.

Ready for Take-off.

Rich was ready for Take-off too!

Fire up the plane!

Happy 30th Babe!

Lunch in Sausalito...

We finished out trip with Lunch in Sausalito...and a ferry ride back to San Francisco. The trip was a blast!

Here's to 30 more fabulous years babe! I love you with all my heart!
