A couple of weeks ago our friend Jason called us up to see if we could go for a quick weekend getaway with him and Sage. Um, YEAH!!! We went to San Francisco with them 5 years ago and had SO much fun so it was definitely time for a San Fran reunion.
Jason had to go for business, and we were lucky enough to be able to tag along! The best part was that it was a surprise for Sage. She had no idea. When we got to the airport, we met them at McDonalds. "Hey you guys! What are you doing here?!" "Oh we're just going to San Francisco" we said. "So are we!!!" she said so excitedly. We laughed and looked at Jason and then she FINALLY got it! haha. It was priceless. Oh and the funny part was that she was wearing the dress that I had ALMOST worn that day but decided not to at the last second. But I still packed it to wear it the next day, so we were twinners kind of.
I was scared to death to leave my kids. I thought for sure our plane would crash and we would die and they would have to be raised by somebody else. Luckily, we didn't die. I think we almost did though. On our way there, we were just about to land, seriously like maybe 100 ft off the ground or less, and all of the sudden the plane started flying up again and we had to circle around again because I guess the pilot didn't get clearance to land the plane. I was terrified. But I told Jason that if there is anybody I felt comfortable flying with, its him because 1. he is a pilot 2. i know he would take down any terrorist that tried to take over our plane.
So the reason we went to San Fran was to check out this workout called TRX. Ever heard of it? I never had but WOW it kicked my butt. As you can see in the pictures, you use these straps to do all kinds of insanely hard moves. We sweated buckets. It was SO much fun though. I absolutely loved it and I want to do it here in SLC.
After we worked out and showered, we went to lunch down by the wharf, then we went and toured the headquarters for TRX. It was an awesome place. How lucky are the people that get to work out on this roof?!?
After that I think we went and ate dinner or something. I can't remember. All I know is that pretty much all we did was sweat and eat. But we ate a lot more than we sweat because I gained 5 freaking pounds! (in one weekend. Yup.)
The view from our hotel room. So gorgeous!
Saturday we did another workout, then went to lunch by some pier. It was so hot on my dark hair, hence the white napkin on my head.
After lunch we went on the ferry over to Sausalito. It was kind of a waste of time and money but I did get a really cute shirt there.
All Allen wanted to do was ride a trolly. So ride a trolly we did.
We rode it down to Fisherman's Wharf and ate at Scoma's. So amazing. Definitely going back there someday. (Definitely NOT going back to Steps of Italy again. We went there 5 years ago and it was a fancy sit down place that was amazing. Now it is a loud cafe with expensive, not so tasty food. Not a single soul besides us was in there. We should have known...)
And my lovely husband climbed down some lovely ladder while we waited to be seated.
such a lovely couple
and yet another lovely couple
the loveliest couple of all
On Sunday we thought or plane left at 1:00. Nope. 4:20. So we did what we do best. We ate. First we ate at some Irish Pub (tradition). Then we went to Ghirardelli and ordered ourselves a nice and large sundae. Yup. We had to since it was Sunday.
Twinner friendship rings.
We bought these sharks with for our boys
and had a little bit too much fun with them.
While us ladies used the restroom the men listened to this guy play his guitar and sing. He was hilarious. Everything he said was a rhyme.
Best picture of the trip. Allen in a Pea Coat. Jason maneuvering his shopping bag and purse.
THANKS FOR THE AWESOME TRIP GUYS!!! LETS DO IT AGAIN IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS!!!
