View of San Francisco from across the Bay
I was surprised on Mother's Day with a wonderful treat of getting to spend our five year anniversary in San Francisco, California. I was a little hesitant at first because it would be my first time away from Madison. Our parents would be taking care of them which made it a lot easier for us.
We went to San Francisco on Thursday and finally got to our hotel after a long plane ride around 6:30 pm (pacific time). We were able to rent a car which made it a lot easier for us to get around San Fran. We wanted to see the sites, so after cleaning up at the hotel we headed out to see the Golden Gate Bridge. We went across the Golden Gate to a town called Sausailto and ate dinner over there. One of the highlights of the trip was going to Alcatraz. It was a really awesome experience. I didn't think that I would enjoy it very much at all, but it was really a very cool experience. We also got to enjoy many more of the sites in San Francisco including Lombard St, Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, a beautiful beach, fun breakfast cafes, and an awesome Anniversary dinner on the 52nd floor of the Bank of America building. We got to see the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was so romantic and an anniversary that I will never forget.

We had a wonderful time. I was very shocked how much I didn't miss Madison. Come Sunday, I was really excited to come home and see her. She looked complete different and was so excited to see us. Thanks Kelly and Pauletta and Dad and Mom for taking care of our baby girl, so we could enjoy a vacation together.
