Happy Belated Father's Day to my Hub-a-dub!

This is a 2 parter, San Francisco and my hubby.   A very Happy Father's Day to him!  I think he had a great day, he said he did!  We spent it with both our father's, eating good food and relaxing.  It was great overall.  Our afternoon was spent frolicking in our pools on the front yard and running through the sprinklers.  He is such a good Dad and our kids are so lucky to have him!

Now onto our San Fransisco trip, it was so much fun.  We packed in so much, from Alcatraz- which was great to see again and of course 3 out of 4 of us got bombed with bird crap.  From one bird!  It was crazy, nothing like walking around for 5 hours with bird poop on you!  We also went to several great bars, hit the farmers market, walked along the pier several times (from 1 to 41- this was after a rough night and I don't know if I have ever heard my husband bitch more), ate sometimes (I will expand on this), went over to Tiburon for drinks on the grass overlooking the water (LOVELY!), hung out with great friends, made some new ones and walked the Bay to Breakers.

These guys were awesome-about 10 people all dressed up like salmon "swimming against the current" I have heard they come out every year.  Very funny!
This is a crazy 10K that people get seriously dressed up for, or the opposite.  Some people were walking it naked- luckily I didn't see one naked person running it!  It was very fun and my first 10K, I was not very prepared for it- like the 10 miles I walked the first few days we were there and not wearing appropriate shoes.  By mile 6 my feet were on fire and right at 7 a few blisters popped. Yuck!  So walked the last few tenths of a mile with that, super fun.  The party after the run was crazy, I  have  never seen anything like it, nor have I ever seen so many people drinking during the run or the parties going on in the neighborhoods where we walked.  It was a blast!  People every where were dressed up and it was 8 in the morning.  Overall a great first 10K!

Spider man to save the day!  
I feel like when you go to a city like this you try and sample their best food- well that didn't happen with us!  I think we figured it out, from Thursday night until Monday night we really only had 2 real meals.  The majority of time it was tapas, starters, shared meals, etc.  Poor Greg, one night we ordered room service after not eating a real meal since morning and it was awful.  He was pretty sure he got food poisoning and the next morning was the race.  So he was a champ and still got up with me at 5:30 after not going to bed until 3:30.  He even ended up walking in the B to B also.  Just not with me (don't ask- I am still mad!  To sum up, he was drinking and the group was winding there way to the "party area" of the walk.  But if you ask him he walked 2 miles of it and swears that he is doing it next year.  I just don't know if he can do it without a backpack full of beer!)  All in all, a fabulous time.  We got to hang out with our great friends Bunny and Big Pete.  Greg and Peter definitely have some type of bromance going on now!

The Lego group-I took this for Gavin- loves all things Lego!
So glad I got done with this, just to gear up for our next adventure- Vegas for a wedding and home 1 day and then off to Nebraska for the 4th!  Going from hot to hella hot and then onto humid hot!  Yea!  A packed 10 day adventure.
