Ok, first of all. I am no writer. In fact as much as I type in a day, I really hate typing. I have been asked several times if I had fun. Yes, it was good to get away and spend time with Steph. I missed Harrison, but it was a great feeling getting back to him last night. I’m going to run through a quick time line, with my view of the place in bold.

Wednesday, 24^th, my birthday. They bumped our plane back a few hours. Didn’t really hurt us any, still had time when we got out there. Since it was my birthday we went to get one of my favorite meals, Dungeness crab, baked in Garlic, with garlic French fries.  THE CRAB HOUSE on Pier 39 delivered.

We walked around the waterfront and then went to bed.

Thursday 25^th, rented a car and then went out to Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Then every other neighborhood in the City. WITHOUT A DOUBT, I could have done this one day and came home. Redwoods and the beach, amazing. Sausalito was also fun. Golden Gate Bridge. We rode all over San Francisco, every neighborhood, from Chinatown, Ashbury Heights, North Beach, and even went by where the digg offices are. Pretty amazing. We even drove down the famous Lombard Street, video will be here.

Friday, we did the “rock” and the pier for shopping. Good stuff, but not very awe inspiring.

Saturday. Rode the trolley down to Market Square. Steph did the shopping, I walked around behind her. She didn’t drag me through anything that was too bad, and I am sure she wishes she would have spent more time and money here.

We also did Chinatown for the street festival. COULD have lived without this. To many people I could not understand in one little space.

Went to the Ferry building and ate lunch/shopped. NO problems with this one.

Back to market square for the year of the Tiger, Chinese New Year parade. Ok, this was nice. But I could have watched it on TV and been just as happy.

To me the walk back to the hotel was the best part of the day, just had a good time walking and talking with Steph and seeing the city in our own pace at our own time.

OVERALL, outside the city was gorgeous, and I loved every minute of it. The city itself is nice, clean and I really do not have any specific complaints. It wasn’t rude people, left wing people, not the gender benders I saw walking around. NONE of that bothered me. In fact in my 20’s I could have lived there. Now with a family, no way. Just not the place I would want Harrison to grow up in. As they say fun place to visit. I do not wish to go back.

We are making a list of where we have to go, where we want to go and where we are going. Hopefully alot of those will line up together.

Sausalito by segway?
Alcatraz?
Ocean Beach?
Muir Woods?
Whale watching?
China town/parade?
GG bridge?
Cliff house?

So I thought I would see how painful this process would be. Doesn’t seem to be that bad. Left HP and steph in bed. Drive in was noneventful and rahter light. No snow to speak of And seems everyone made a great choice on us having school. Try to post a pic from here next.

Although it really wouldn’t affect me at all, except for having to go to work today, we do have school this morning. I am glad my admins took the time to get this one right. Our job is to teach, so let the kids show up and let teaching begin. NO change to my schedule. I would have to be up doing something anyway. Out the door.

Wordpress is really just the easiest web tool to use. I think that with the different way to post and the tie ins to all the other web tools I use, this could be perfect for me.
