San Francisco August 22-25, 2008

We went to San Francisco to finish celebrating my birthday (woo hoo!) this weekend. Here are some photos! We didn't take that many for some reason, but we had a FANTASTIC time! LOVE that city! Enjoy!

This was the first of MANY bars that we hit in San Francisco - the theme of the vacation was "PUB CRAWL"
This one was called "Murphy's Pub" and it was right across the street from our hotel the "Galleria Park Hotel"


Bethnay in front of China Town. This was also near our hotel!


Matty in front of China Town - can you tell which is Matt and which is the Chinese dragon gargoyle????


AWWW aren't we CUTE???


This place "Swan Oyster Depot" is FANTASTIC! We definitely recommend it if you are ever in San Francisco and like shellfish! MMMM The cracked crab is amazing! Matty loves the mixed seafood salad! The chowder is also delicious! You have to wait as the only seating is at the bar and there is always a line - but it is certainly worth it!

This is the lobby of the Galleria Park Hotel - its a boutique hotel - we are certain that means "tiny" hehe - but we loved the hotel! It had recently been renovated and the lobby was very posh! :)


Matty in his paperboy hat looking down to the lobby!


Matty relaxing in the room.


This was the first bar of the Pub Crawl on Saturday - it was called the "Chug Pub" mmm beer!


This is a beer and Matty's giant foot. hehe


This grabby claw game had CHIPS in it! YEAH!!!


I won some chips for Matty - MOM, this is due to all our grabby claw game practice as I was growing up. It only took me one try! Everyone in the bar was very impressed! hehe


Matty and I at the bar :) We are cutie, again!


View of the bay from Embarcadero - we had breakfast around there! :)

Hi Matty!


Just a pretty San Francisco street. This city is amazing!!


This wall we came across near the Castro/Mission Districts. Reallllly cool! Did I say we love this city??


This is the view at Dolores Park in the Mission/Castro District. (I think Mission, but its hard to tell when one ends and the other begins!) The view of the city was amazing!!


More park views! :)


We met up with some friends at the park and drank mimosas!! :) Gregg, Robert and Josh! Good times for sure! :)


This guy walked around the park with his cooler selling 'brownies' hehehe - also, the boys at the park like to lay around in their underwear! Gotta love San Francisco! YEAH!


Here is Matty on another cute street in the Mission/Castro!


I really liked this house!


More San Francisco views!


Last Photo of the trip!

Hooray San Francisco!

Thanks Matty for a wonderful birthday present! You are the bestest!

Bouncy Cute Charlie

Here are a few shots of Charlie courtesy of Jesus and his amazing camera! Charlie is very bouncy and having a great time at the dog park in these photos. Please don't make fun of my silly faces I'm making in a couple of the photos! hehe

He's all smiles!

Boing! Look how the dog can jump!


Beautiful Boy!


Yeah! Get that frisbee! (we still can't get him to catch it when we throw it, but he'll learn hopefully!)

Nice face B.




What a cutie cutie lil pup.

The Last Week/Night of Jesus

Here are the last photos of Jesus' visit!
We had a WONDERFUL visit! :)
Enjoy


Matty, Jesus, Chena and Bethnay at the Turf Dinner Club - great restaurant where you can get an amazing cut of meat for a great price, and you get to cook it yourself on the huge grill! Awesome.


We took a drive up to LA to visit Misty! Had a great time! :)


A thoughtful Jesus at the bar!
