Our Anniversary Weekend

We spent last weekend in San Francisco to celebrate our anniversary. Ayden stayed with my mom, so that made a good weekend great! We stayed at a great little hotel in Pacifica that was right on the beach and our "partial ocean view" was actually pretty good.
We drove into the city to see the King Tut exhibit at the de Young museum. Now, being that I teach about Ancient Egypt every year, I was totally enthralled and even Ken admitted that it was pretty cool. We couldn't take pictures, which kind of sucked because I wanted to take a bunch to show future students, but oh well. It was really hard to wrap our heads around the fact that the artifacts were 3500+ years old because they were still in great condition.

After a nice dinner out, we headed back to Pacifica and sat out on the beach with a bottle of wine. Sunday we took our bikes and rode around Golden Gate Park on what was maybe one of the best days (weather-wise) in SF. Perfect 75 ish degrees and sunny - no fog, no wind (which is pretty rare), and definitely in contrast to the 110 degree heat that greeted us when we got home. We had a great weekend away and even missed Ayden a little :)

Sounds like fun! Funny how you miss the little buggars when they are gone.

Looks like a great weekend! Nothing like a little "time off" from the kiddos to revive you!
