San Francisco is for Lovers!

Wednesday Vicki went to the office while Brian played tourist. In the afternoon, Brian found a way to take the public transportation to the AT&T ball park. Since he knew my knees would bother me from all the walking, he found a route that took us from the hotel right to the front of the stadium. We purchased seats in the upper deck in the left field area and had a wonderful view of the bay and Covey Cove. Of course we ate dinner at the park and saved room for those wonderful garlic fries (thank goodness they come with a mint!). The game was between the Giants and the Rockies and we really did not care who won, we just wanted to see a game at the park. Giants lost 4-3, oh well.

Thursday evening after Vicki worked (Brian played tourist all day), we went into Fisherman's Wharf where we enjoyed a wonderful view and meal at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. Vicki even ate shrimp. After dinner, we walked the wharf and enjoyed a hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli's.






Saturday we took a winery tour in the Napa Valley. We started our tour at the Ferry Building in SF and took shuttle bus across the Golden Gate Bridge into Napa. We visited four wineries and had a wonderful picnic style lunch at a little boutique type winery - Vi Satturi. The weather was great and the scenery was gorgeous. Following the tour we took a ferry boat across the bay from Vallejo back to SF. We concluded our day (and trip) with a great pizza dinner before returning to the hotel to pack for our early morning return flight.

We had an absolutely amazing week (even though I spent the days working!). It was fun to explore, have no plans and just be together. More pictures may follow....

We are looking forward to returning to San Francisco some day. God is so good to us.
