We were trying to get on the road as fast as possible. Rusty went to get the rental car at 7am and I finished up some last minute packing. Rusty scored a sweet parking spot right in front of our house. We couldn’t believe our good luck. I was upstairs getting some suitcases and came…
On Sunday when Nat and Carlie were here after church we ventured down to Stern Grove to see the San Francisco Ballet. This was a breathtakingly beautiful venue! It was so lush and green. It took a little bit of work to find a spot to sit but we found one on a steep hillside…
We spent our last couple of days hitting up s few spots we’ve been meaning to get to. Let’s start with SF MOMA. They have a pretty great audio guide. One option is to take a specific walk through the museum and have a narrator tell you want to look for. Halle and I did…
Brunch at Mama’s was quite the experience. Saturday is long run day and Rusty really wanted to run over the Golden Gate Bridge. So we caught an Uber to the Exploratorium and started our run there. Turns out, running over the bridge isn’t all that fun. It’s loud, windy and being up so high kinda…
Our very last day in San Francisco was spent at Alcatraz. We were lucky we got tickets! We booked the tickets more than a month in advance and this date was the first with any tickets available. And, only the combo tour of both Alcatraz and Angel island was left so that’s what we did….
This turned out to be one of the most adventurous days we’ve had so far! The kids have been so excited to do this and ask about it constantly, but we decided to save it for when Nat and Carlie were here. The day started with a walk to Tartine for some delicious treats. We…
Our street is right on the border of Noe Valley and the Mission District. We love it! We have easy access to all the food and fun in the Mission, and the peace and quiet of Noe Valley. Here are a few of our favorite things. MISSION DOLORES PARK. This place is amazing. Our favorite…
Hands down, the most beautiful building in San Fran. It boasts the 5th largest dome in the world, and it’s bigger than the one on the US Capitol Building in DC. We loved watching all the brides and grooms taking their beautiful wedding photos.
Thursday morning Tara and I took the car to the golden gate park for a tempo run. We were both kind of tired and maybe tired of running so the conversation was tough. We just focused on running and ended up running the whole thing very fast, faster than our goal pace. Afterwards since we…
Aug 3–Wednesday morning we woke up and begrudgingly ran the hills in our neighborhood. It was actually a pretty good run where we run to Glen Park. Part of it is a trail run. Good 5 miles. We came home and got in the car and headed over the Golden Gate Bridge in our rental…
