We're going, to San Francisco


Well, we already went. Aaron's parents sent us for his graduation from DTS, and we had a wonderful time. I had never even seen the Pacific Ocean, and neither of us had ever been to San Francisco. We biked all over their three natural areas, Golden Gate Park, Lincoln Area, and The Presidio. We hiked all through Muir Woods and Mt. Talampais. We shopped in Sausalito, ate at Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach, and The Mission, visited all kinds of galleries in the city, and missed Walker just a little!

He stayed with Mimi and Poppy, and apparently
didn't miss us at all! They went to the zoo for his first time, and he loved the monkeys. He also learned all about lawns, flower beds, and the importance of watering from Poppy.


We returned from San Francisco on Tuesday, and Aaron graduated on Saturday. We had a great celebration, and now he's continuing his job hunt. Ben graduates Friday, so we're all gearing up for that now!

P.S. For anyone who is a dedicated reader/viewer of our blog, we found out a couple of weeks ago that we are having a little girl!

Well, we haven't been there in a few years, but hopefully one of these days we'll live close too! :) Looks like y'all had a great time!
Congrats on your baby girl! Have you decided on any names yet?
