San Francisco

Greg and I had our first getaway since baby girl was born. We had the greatest time in my FAVORITE U.S. city! Here are a few pictures and videos from our trip. You are forewarned that the video clips are a bit cheesy.




MUIR WOODS


CABLE CARS!

TOO much fun, seriously! Out of respect for Greg I have not posted the video clip of him on this cable car singing the full house theme song: "What ever happpened to predictability, the milk man, the paper boy, evening t.v..... Duh Duh Duh NA Duh... DUH! DUH!" We definately acted like class A tourists!

CALORIE FREE FOOD

One of the best parts about vacations is that everything is Zero Calories! Knowing this, Greg and I took full advantage of this magical fact. A good way to describe all the vacation food eaten on this trip is the Shel Silverstein poem "Hungry Mungry," just replace the main character with "Greg" and "Gina." Here are our favorites: Clam Chowder

Look closely.... mini donuts at Pier 39
Ghirardelli Round ONE

Ghirardelli Round TWO

NAPA

The vineyards were gorgeous!
PIER 39
I was SOO happy on this carousel ride that I almost cried! Last time I rode this carousel was in 1988 on a California vacation with my mom and dad. I had the most wonderful childhood and riding on this again 21 years later brought back all those happy kid memories! I didn't care that we were the only adults on it, I was going to enjoy every second!

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall........... and that wall too, oh and that wall also....AHH!

Yikes! I think I was more scared in this mirror maze than anything... it looks a little Sixth Sense-ish.
