Isn't it grand in San Francisco?

I was MIA last week in preparation of our whirlwind tour of San Francisco. After getting Nate packed and out the door on Monday, I proceeded to pack up Reacher and Max and myself and sent them off with my mom to Greenville (after a fun-filled day of shopping and eating here in Charlotte). They love going to summer camp in Greenville. Thursday night Alli and I flew to SF and met the guys. Our first night there we ended up at a piano bar called Foley's where they had dueling pianos. This was among everyone's favorite night!

We visited Haight St.

Fisherman's Wharf.

Everyone's other favorite part of SF was the market at the Ferry Building. Fresh food, wine, cheese, bread, olive oil...mmm I could have stayed there all day. Not to mention the beautifully renovated Ferry Building. Sorry no pics? Eech. Moving on...

We did most of the standard SF sites and LOVED the cool misty weather, just got us all ready for fall!

Dad, what is this plant with the purple flowers?

I just loved this building/house.  Look at those copper gutters!

The view from Coit Tower...finally the sun came out as we were leaving!

Our last stop in SF was Chinatown...we stopped a guy on the street and asked him where the best place to eat was...I will get a picture of what they ate but the name will tell you pretty much all you need to know. They ordered a dish called Explosive Chili Pepper Chicken...the sweet lady said it was not too spicy. Ha. We were convinced they had us on candid camera after that one.

Last night we had a red-eye flight and got home this morning around 7 am (Nate actually had a pretty rough trip and got home at noon) so forgive this space cadet post, but I had to at least post a few pictures or I would never get to it!
