ah…today has been wonderful! i was awakened by the sizzle of fresh cooked bacon (and matt’s phone call) and the smell of freshly cooked blueberry pancakes!! my amazing wife woke up before me and had breakfast (my fav meal of the day) ready! whoo hooo!!! 

then i headed over to del norte to get my tennis on. mr larson i will conquer you soon - it is only a matter of time!!

then it was back to the pad - clean up and head on to san fran!!

traffic was easy - and amanda made lunch to eat in the car and it was so great. our first destination was amoeba music - where we picked up the ’she and him’ record. ok - sorry but dont buy it. we dislike it very much. actually - we have one for sale if you are interested…..ha!

now, much thanks to ry we are sippin on some amazing coffee here:

and now the best part - the reason we came into the city was to see one of our favorite artists, rosie t!!!!!!:

looking forward to a grand evening in the city….

so the festivities have begun! my mom, dad, and sister are all here in town for my bday and my moms bday this weekend. pretty sweet. today we headed into the great town of san fran! it was great. mom had never been to the city and we only had a couple of hours before picking up carolyn, so she decided she wanted to ride the trolly and see the wharf. we got on at market st and road them to fishermans wharf. man i love this city!! the way down we all road standing, hangin on the side, awesome, and on the way back we road in the very back of the car, not so awesome.  after getting carolyn from SFO we headed back into town for some dinner and then hit the road for our destination for tonight - NAPA! so needless to say it’s late and we are tired - but i am really looking forward to driving around napa tomorrow. amanda and i have done sonoma before, so it will be cool to see how napa matches up!bed time…must sleep…

after our breakfast goodness we are hoping in the car and heading into the city! man - i am really looking forward to today. and to top it all off we get to see holly’s new art, ryan’s sweet beard, PAXTON SHARP, and the amazing and totally wonderful lisa.

could today get any better? me thinks not!
