15th anniversary

Jon and I planned a trip to San Francisco for our 15th wedding anniversary. We went through San Francisco on our way to Hawaii for our Honeymoon so we got to relive half of our honeymoon. We got there about 2:00 so we decided to ride a cable car first thing and have lunch/dinner down at the wharf. It took about a half an hour of standing in line to get on, then it went up the block and picked up a lot more people. It kept stopping and cramming, I was pretty amazed at how many people can fit in a cable car.We thought we should take advantage of the great seafood so we ate here and it was great! After that we went to Ghirardelli to have hot fudge sundaes. I had the "gold rush" which was peanut butter and hot fudge. It was so good, I knew we had to go back another day to have another one...and we did.
Jon's making fun of me taking a picture of our sundaes. I have to e-mail a pic. to Linc, I thought of him the whole time I was eating it. I forgot my camera so I bought a disposable one. The pictures turned out okay, Jon's i-phone did better.

There was a huge barking seal sound so we followed it and found lots of seals sunning themselves. They were a lot of fun to watch battling and swimming after each other.

The next day we went to "Aquarium of the Bay" It was great. There were two glass tunnels to walk through surrounded be sharks, fish, and rays.

Here's a picture of Jon meeting President Obama. We took this in the wax museum mainly for my mom's sake. The wax museum was not that great, but we had lots of time on our hands. We also toured a Liberty ship and a submarine. I had to get out of the sub after about 5 minutes because it was tight quarters and I felt so claustrophobic.

The last full day we were there we went to Alcatraz. It was very interesting. The ferry ride out was a lot of fun too. We also went to Wicked on our actual anniversary (12th) and loved it. It was a really fun trip with a lot of walking. I'm happy I had my friend Kara and my parents watch the kids. They were quite happy too. It's always hard to leave them that first day then I start to relax. Getting away is hard but so important and fun. I'm thankful for what a great husband Jon is and that we can enjoy each others company one on one for four days.
