San Francisco with Family

Awhile ago, we booked a trip to San Francisco.  This time, Ethan and I would not be travelling alone - we would be travelling with Ethan's brother (Jared) and his wife (Lisa).  Well, as the trip drew closer, Jared got a temporary job in Hawaii.  He was scheduled to come back in time for the trip.  However, shortly before the trip, he was told his job would go a little longer than scheduled.

Well, here's how we solved the problem.  Their oldest son's name is... Jared!  No need to change the tickets.  :)  So, Jared came with us instead of his dad.

Since Ethan and I have been to San Francisco several times, Ethan knew of many places to eat.  Afterall, San Francisco has many wonderful restaurants!  Lisa's favorite was this ice cream shop called, "Bi-Rite Creamery."  Jared's favorite was a burger at "Fish and Farm."

Our first night there, we saw "Wicked."  The music was amazing!

I look quite pregnant here...

We walked up this REALLY STEEP hill!

Still walking...  We wanted to walk up to Lombard Street.

Still walking (and some people were even running up the same hill!)...  If you look in the distance you can see Alcatraz.

Finally, we made it up that LONG steep hill.  Then, we walked DOWN Lombard Street and took this picture.  :)

We woke up early one morning to go to Mama's.  Notice, we are first in line!  The restaurant opens at 8:00, but people start arriving around 7:30.  So, we got there at 7:24 and got to be first in line.  Shortly after, people started arriving and in just a few minutes the line grew quite long.  If you look closely, you can see how long the line was.  The food was amazing.  It was worth waking up early even though we were on vacation.  :)

Bi-Rite Creamery.  YUMMY ice cream!!!

We missed our flight.  So, we were on stand-by for several different flights.  It was funny because after we missed each flight, they would say, "It looks really good that you'll be able to get on the next flight."  However, the next flight would come and it would be overbooked.  Hmmmm.  We had to just laugh about it and make the most of our time at the airport.  We finally got on a flight about 6 hours later...  It was an adventure.
