Things to See

Things have been getting pretty busy around here. Brett's finally starting school and Timber's experiencing the grueling hours a Veterinarian with a San Francisco commute enjoys. Here's a few pics from our recent adventures:

Driving up to the UCSF Cancer Center who do we get stuck behind? Oh, well that's not so bad. Yes, this picture's for you Jordy.

Timber saw this place while walking around. We laughed.

The Castro

Our dear comrade, Sean, traveled up from sunny Santa Cruz to visit this weekend. Have we mentioned how much we love visitors? Good ol' times full of drinking and board games. We also finally made it out to visit the Castro district after a month and a half of San Francisco living.No explanation needed.


We've been touring the Chocolate shops of San Francisco. This is Chocolate on Castro. Most of their treats are brought in from other local chocolateirs, but they do make a mean hot chocolate.

Happy Anniversary to us!

We hit the town to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary. Breakfast at Howard's cafe in our neighborhood, Japanese Tea Gardens, Xocolate in Berkeley, dinner at Pizzaiolo in Oakland, dessert from Whole Foods bakery. Can't you taste the romance?

We love visitors!

Sorry, sorry. We know we promised a vicarious romp through San Francisco for all our family back at home. We've been busy and lazy, which leads to a lack of blogging. Timber is busy trying to figure out how to be a "real vet" and Brett is gearing up for grad school. These pictures below are when Robert and Nancy came to visit. It was wonderful having family back in town!


Tasty Italian food at Tomaso's in North Beach!


Then off to wine tasting in Napa!


This was the Viansa Winery. Grapes as far as the eye can see.


A bit of the bubbly stuff after lunch. Domaine Chandon specializes in Champagne and sparkling wines.


Somebody at Domaine Chandon apparently has a thing for mushrooms!


Can't be beat wine at Robert Mondavi Winery. Gotta love those Cabs!
