San Francisco

I got a fancy camera and we took it to San Francisco. Partly because I turned 30 and partly because it has been nearly three months since our Honeymoon and Will gets antsy when we don't travel. Even on football weekends. It was a gorgeous three days, all sunny. We like to think we brought a little Phoenix with us. The city is adorable and we had a blast walking up and down the steep streets. Highlight - dinner with one of my college roommates Amanda, her husband, and her 37 week old fetus. Quick note about China Town, well, all China Towns really - why would you come to America and choose to live right on top of each other just like in China? Seriously, six blocks bustling with small Asian people toting rolling suitcases full of dried fish and broccoli down the most crowded streets I've ever seen. Did we forget to welcome you to the land of space and relaxation?

On Christmas Gatherings

In and effort to see everyone in Virginia, Will and I scheduled every last minute of our Christmas vacation between houses. We were like nomads, never bringing anything to eat, always looking for a place to sleep. After working a night shift before our 9am flight to DC, I'm pretty sure I only imagined what happened the entire first day...and much of that which occurred thereafter. This sleep schedule has got to improve! But luckily we do have some photos to prove we were there...physically at least!
