trip to san fran...












P and I were lucky enough to get a short get away without the kids! We did miss them, but it was SO much fun to just be together and do the things we wanted to do! As you can see from the photos, i have issues with food. when we are eating, i am thinking of the next place we will eat.  we really enjoy our food so i guess it works out. the best part about being in a big city is that you walk so much, you are hungry when you arrive at the next place! yeah!



yes, i ate all 18 of my famous mini swedish pancakes.
p had some delicious eggs benedict.




we had a fantastic time jumping on the trolley and acting silly. after dinner on the wharf, we stopped into an irish bar called the buena vista. we had original irish coffee. yum. i happened to bump into my cousin who was sitting right across from us. small world! (not really that wierd. i come from a big irish family and we like irish bars)


lobster bisque, clam chowder in a bread bowl, fresh crab.............. delish!

it was really cold and my husband pulls out these hand warmers. i had to laugh. i don't know where he gets all these little gadgets or ideas. i shouldn't surprised, he wears plastic gloves when he pumps gas and washes his change every once in awhile. yikes!

my favorite place of all was this little crepe shop we went to. we liked it so much we went there twice! ( which is not something we do on vacations)

i am still dreaming of those things......
 i got chocolate, nutella, bananas, anything sweet and wonderful.
pscrubs.......... he ordered organic vegetable soup and some wierd homemade cleansing drink with ceyanne pepper. yowza. i bet that was fun later...

i had to stop by and say hi to my best friend betsy johnson!

 our hotel was super cute and we had a great time. i want to go back. now.

First of all, you are so cute!!! So much fun! Mr. C and I went to that same bar (Buena Vista) when we were there last fall. And, P is hilarious! How often does he wash his change?! How was ol' Betsy? Did you send her my love?
