San Francisco

Going to California!!!

Scott and I had appointments with Julia Ross who wrote the "Mood Cure" and her team of experts. It was very informational and they set us up on a plan of dietary supplements and amino acids that help get rid of "false" moods. She is set up in the San Francisco area which is a favorite of ours.

Waiting in Charise's car for a 3 hour drive to Anchorage and a 5 hour flight... we almost missed getting onto our plane by about 2 minutes. YIKES!

We celebrated our anniversary at The Melting Pot. It was wonderful and the restaurant was built inside an old brick kiln which was so cool! Francie wasn't too interested in eating so we all (Scott, Charise, and I) took turns walking outside with her.

Frances fell in love with this cat at Anthropologie, and her favorite aunt Reese bought it for her.

We all are in love with the city Sausalito! It's just across the bridge from San Francisco and it totally reminds us of Italy! We went out to dinner the second night here at an Italian restaurant Poggio while Charise watched Frances. We went back the 3rd day and spent a few hours before heading to the airport. Don't worry, Francie's ice cream was ALL OVER ME within 10 minutes.

While in Sausalito, we saw a large yacht that we asked around about. "Yacht A" is the biggest or most luxurious yacht in the world, cost $400 million to build, belongs to a Russian billionaire, has a helicopter launch pad that he used daily, costs $20 million to keep up each year, and cost a whopping $500 thousand just to fill up the gas tank!!! So we took our picture with it which happens to be my worst picture taken in a while. Let's just say I am going to be losing some weight soon, ha ha!

Francie strutting her stuff

Our little traveler. This was the 2nd time she has flown to San Francisco, and she has flown 3 times to Portland all in 20 months! Good thing she flies for free!

And our plane was half empty so we each got our own seat and used the row across from us as a bed for Francie later.

And the best part of the trip is that while we were gone we decided that we are moving to Vancouver before Thanksgiving!!! WAHOO!
