San Fransisco Getaway

M and I spent 4 days last week in San Fransisco. We left the kids behind. Our wonderful parents took turns taking care of them. M had a conference there for a day and a half. I enjoyed having a few hours to myself. The rest of the time we did touristy things, ate yummy food, shopped a bit (there is never any time for clothes shopping when you have little kids), watched a couple movies, walked all over town and enjoyed being together. Here's a few pics.

Riding a cable car (transportation system from 1873, the cars grab cables running on a loop underground, wiki it if you want to learn more).

Then we rented a tandem bike and rode across the Golden Gate Bridge (note: tandem bikes are not as fun as they look, especially when riding across a windy bridge).

Here we are about to get on the bridge with the city in the background.

On bridge.

And we made it.

Thanks to M for making me go and thanks to our family for taking such great care of our kiddos.
