A decade! :)

Brian and I took a trip!

It was our 10 year anniversary!  (Crazy how time flies!)
We went back to where we started!
We honeymooned in Napa Valley!
This time, we saw more but went back to where we started our life together a decade ago!  

It was so fun to experience new things but do some things we did 10 years ago!! 

We "killed" Nona & Papa with P & R! (They were EXHAUSTED, but they did have fun!)

The boys had a blast!  

Brian and I thought about 1/2 way through the trip "can we change our plane tickets to go back home?" because we missed them like crazy!!!

Pierce got to feed Buddy, the calf, everyday with Papa!  

He walked the hog barns with Uncle John and Aunt Dana with popsicles everyday!

He got to watch combining with Uncle Jerry AND ride/drive a tractor with Uncle Jerry!

It was cold and they STILL played outside!  

Reid hung out and mastered the stairs at the house and was "mean" to the kitty! (still learning "gentle" at our house!)

B & I saw so many cool things!  

I slept some, my parents slept none.  

We ate some REALLY great food!  I'll never be able to eat canned clam chowder again and think it is good! 

We walked a lot!  

We laughed a lot!

We had silent times a lot! (Ha!)

We ate a lot!
We enjoyed saying all week: "What were you doing this time 10 years ago?!" 

We had a blast!

Here is some of our sites................

:)

We stayed 2 blocks from the famous Fishermans Wharf!

 One of the trolleys!  

We later learned they only bring out the open topped car when the weather is pretty!

 Alcatraz!  

Craziest little museum! 

 Creepy right? 

 One of the places I ate some of the BEST clam chowder out of a sourdough bread bowl!  My mouth waters as I write this now! 

 Bodin Sourdough Company! 

 Crazy Street People Shows! ;)

 The Ferry Building! 

One of the neatest places with vendors!

One of the vendors just sold mushrooms..... like this!  :) 

This picture was for John & Dana!  :)  

I would have bought that sucker if the vendor had been open!

 Pay to Pee!

So, the pictures that start here were on our Tour of San Fran tour!

 The hills were STEEP!

Coit Tower was the Tower in the picture with the trees all around it!  Built by a lady with the last name Coit that loved the Fire Department!
