back from vacation

Golden Gate Bridge from Ferry

We returned late last night from our mini vacation to San Francisco. I spent the entire time offline, enjoying the views, the sightseeing, and the company of my hubby.

It was extraordinarily relaxing.

I’m taking the rest of the week off because I have both a mountain of laundry (we filled a suitcase full of dirty clothes), a lawn that needs mowing, and some children who need my undivided attention for the next few days.

My parents rocked the babysitting (big thanks to them!), and thankfully they and the kids survived.

I’ll leave you with a photo of one of my favorite places we visited on vacation, Alcatraz Island. Beautiful views, amazing history, and chilling stories. Just make sure you leave before the last ferry leaves for the night!

In "the hole" on Alcatraz.

Kelly, so glad you had a good time on your mini-vaca!

I have never been to San Fran, but everyone I know who has says that Alcatraz is a must see! Hopefully I’ll get there one day…

Can’t wait to hear more about your adventures!

Cathy, I LOVED it. So beautiful!

Crystal, thanks! Definitely a must see, and I have a little list of my must sees so if you ever go, I’m happy to share!

Sadly no more adventures for awhile.
