a day in the city
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….
back to sf (again!)
man…do we live there??? ha. amanda and i are heading into town with some arcade peeps today for this! i cant wait!
bday celebration day one
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…
photos from yesterday :: aka i love the golden gate
the drive into the city was smooth as could be -
here we are on the bay bridge heading towards the city
and here she is in all her glory…
we headed down to the ocean at baker beach and walked back towards the bridge - what a great day to be at the beach! here are the pics….
from baker beach - we headed over across the bridge to the marin co side and took in some views that way…
then it was back towards the filmore for some food before the show…sf has crazy roads…fyi…
the filmore is a sweet venue! so much history!! cant wait to see more shows here. the first band was called the myriad and honestly they stole the show. wow! what a great sound and the lead singer’s voice was so great - echo’s of thom yorke…so so good. check em out:
after the myriad was phil wickham. let me say - eh. he played to a track….double eh.
then to the crazy hair and bearded one…
yes that is the guitar hero guitar! bwack rigged it to play music. hilarious!!
all in all a great day and a great trip. thanks andrew!
