Babymoon, San Fran Style

A few months ago we decided we would make one last "big" trip out of town before Cara reached the point in the pregnancy where she could no longer travel. Since we went to Playa del Carmen back in January for a wedding and our previous trip before that was Cabo, Cara decided she wanted no part of another vacation on the beach (to my disappointment). The only places I wanted to go were all beaches, so I let her decide where she wanted to go. When she said she wanted to go to San Francisco I wasn't very excited, but I went along with it. We set out for San Francisco last week for a 3 day weekend in the Bay. I thought I would only have an okay time, but boy was I wrong!!

We had such a great time. We did everything there was to do in San Francisco. We walked the Golden Gate Bridge. We walked through Chinatown and Little Italy. We even walked up the "crookedest" street in San Francisco. It was a pretty amazing time and I can't wait to go back for a longer amount of time so we can explore more.

Here are a few pictures from our time there...

Cara and Fabio from Top Chef

This last picture has a funny story. As we got out of the shuttle at the airport Cara said to me, "Hey... Isn't that the guy from Top Chef??" I had no idea who she was talking about so I kept gathering my bags and getting out my boarding passes so I could go through security. As we walked towards the security checkpoint, sure enough Fabio came walking up the stairs. Cara slowly walked over towards him and shyly asked him if he was from Top Chef and if she could take a picture with him. She was completely starstruck so I got out my camera and took the picture as I tried not to laugh. Sadly, I think it made her trip. ;-)
