Ron and I got back last night from a great trip to San Francisco. We love to go there on a short trip because you can see so much in such a short time. There are always hidden surprises, but this time there was the BEST surprise. I guess Kat and Ron have been conspiring since my birthday to meet in SF. So, after we checked into the hotel (which was a very interesting story) there was a knock on the door. I opened it and there was Kat looking as cute as ever. I got a smothering squeeze from her and she got an annoying Gregish index finger wag in her face. Then, it was off to hit the town. The two days was full of eating in small cafes, riding cable cars and other germ ridden public transportation, watching Kat get scared by the bush man, eating a hot fudge sundae at Ghiradelli Square, and LOTS of people watching. We made it to Ashbury/Haight for the first time and to a remote bakery next to a shady neighborhood. Ron got a shoulder pet by the Russian with a mustache that seemed to be following us and we decided that you definitely need to fear the stache in SF. We walked out on the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset and were in awe of the creations of our Father in Heaven intersecting with the gifts of man. Of course Kat had many conversations with stranger people and we laughed and laughed.
All of the kids did well at home and loved having french fries and chili for dinner. I have to give a huge THANK YOU to Nana and all others who helped keep things rolling at home. I am so grateful for a mom who would drop everything to come take care of my 5 crazies. It was so nice to not worry about them at all. They all love and adore Nana and didn't miss me a bit. I'm not sure how to take that. I think they would all love a Nana vacation more often. So, thank you again, Nana, we really appreciate you.
In the end, it was sad to have to go our separate ways at the airport, but luckily we have Zach's baptism to look forward to. Thanks to Kat and Ron for such a great trip full of fabulous memories and great company.
P.S. If you want to stay at a hotel on Geary near Union Square that starts with an A, stay at Adagio and not Adante. That is unless you want purple walls with fish murals to lull you to sleep.
