Well, not really. We had a wonderful time this weekend. I did just fine being away from Laurelle and she did all too well with me gone. She was wonderful for my mother-in-law who watched her most the time. My parents relieved her for an evening as well. She didn't appear to miss a step and when we returned it was as if it we had just been gone for an evening.
While in San Francisco we explored a submarine, a cargo ship (still operational), some other three boats that carried people and cars and a tug ???. Ryan thought that was all great. We took a ferry to Tiburon which is a very quaint little town that would cost a fortune to live in. We road on trolley and cable cars. We went downtown to Old Navy, Ross, Gap and Mimi Maternity. We walked down the crookedest street in the world. We ate LOTS of crab... crab cakes, crab chowder, whole crab, crab fettucine, crab sandwich, crab cocktail ... just to name a few. We had excellent sourdough bread from Boudin. We went to the cannery, Pier 39 and Ghiradelli square. We perused a museum of games - old games - like the fortune teller machine from Big - they had the pianos that played themselves (Worlitzer?). They had puppet machines and all sorts of old what we would call arcade type games. We ate and ate and ate. Ryan did not bring his golf clubs which I am sure was quite a sacrifice.
We stayed in a very nice Hyatt hotel at Fisherman's wharf. We had easy flights there and back and it didn't rain at all until today. We were leaving anyway so we didn't care. We went to Chinatown and bought Laurelle a Kimono with a matching purse. It is very cute.
Well - I will post some pictures later.
