Today was a cool day b/c for one second, it was 7.8.9.10.11.12! Get it-the date (7.8.09), and the time (10:11 and 12 seconds). I almost forgot, so I got as close to the 12 second mark as I could!
Here's what I was doing:
Not the healthiest thing to be doing at this time of the night! Can I use the excuse that I'm still on California time-then it would only be 8:11pm!?!?!
to the sailboat driver for creating a perfect photo opportunity for me tonight! Tonight I can cross one more item off my bucket list :)
Today we walked. And walked. And walked some more :) My pedometer says I took 23,953 steps :)
We toured Alcatraz-AMAZING!
Could I BE any more of a tourist (said in my best Chandler Bing voice)!!
I love this pic from Chinatown:
And one at the top of one of the 300 hills we climbed:
Words cannot describe it. Photos cannot do it justice. What a beautiful place.
ps-we saw three bears :)
We're here-and have fallen in love with jumping pictures! These might be some of my favorite travel pics ever :)
I have sooo much to do before I leave on Tuesday afternoon, but at least the whole trip is officially planned now. I even have the itinerary/binder to prove it! Make fun of me all you want, but we have so many confirmation emails, etc. that it just had to be organized this way. So excited!
Here's a sneak from Saturday:
This one cracks me up
Here's a rather large sneak peek for Sara, b/c I know how much she loves them :)
Someone is turning two soon:
Is in the books! When unloading my memory cards, this was an instant favorite. I'm sure there will be more to come!
I can't decide which version I like so I'm posting both:
On the left: The photo taken as I exited the stage by a photo company. Isn't the pic horrible?!?!
On the right: The pic my dad took after the ceremony.
Money saved: $30 :)
"Don't Quit"
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.
