We went to San Francisco last weekend for Al's triathlon. I don't do well on road trips so, I like to take pictures, clean out the glove box, play DJ, and anything else I can do to pass time. Driving through The Grapevine.
This cow farm really got to me. The smell and thought of those poor cows made me consider being a vegetarian....at least for 10 minutes. I could totally live without meat as long as I had fish.
Did someone really pay extra for this license plate? hahah even I can run a 5k
On Saturday morning while Al, his dad, and Ross went to some meetings for their race, the rest of us went and walked around San Francisco. We couldn't have asked for better weather. We stayed in Fishermans Wharf so the seals were practically our neighbors. We had to go say hi.
They are really entertaining in the mornings.
If I was a seal I would be like this big guy right here.....I love laying in the sun.
They must have bad dreams because he randomly freaked out and dove in the water.
We walked through China Town and marveled at all the food. Especially these birds that look just like Terradactyls. Where do you even get these from and who wants to eat that?
Don't worry this is totally sanitary. At least they are wearing gloves.
This one really got to me.... A turtle :(
I really don't understand how fish can sit there all day in the open air with people walking by breathing on it.
Some really stinky fruit that Chad was telling us about.
One of the many artistic window displays we saw
Coby climbing the walls in an alley
Union Square where I would have liked to spend my entire day.
We walked to the Giants game from China Town and it was a little further than we thought.
We finally arrived
I totally look pregnant in this picture. It's either how I'm standing or an optical illusion, but I swear I don't look like that.
Not the best seats, but we had a great view.
I was so excited for the garlic fries
until I saw Lexis. Look how much garlic she got? What the HECK?
This usher was the worst photographer ever. You can barely tell where we are, so lame.
Al and Ross with their cute matching bags
Embarcadero fountains
Of course I had to walk through them like everyone else.
I've seen this guy every time I've ever been to San Francisco. I should probably introduce myself next time.
We walked through the Farmers Market at Embarcadero
I love mushrooms and Al hates them. Mushrooms are the best!!
Some of our friends told us about Bob's Donuts. They were our of their huge donuts.
How can you be out of these babys?
Chad, Lexi, and I had dinner at Boudin at Fishermans Wharf. Their sourdough bread was just as good as it smells when you walk by.
We finished the night with Ghiradelli. I'm not a huge ice cream fan, so I had their sea salt carmel hot chocolate and it was pretty amazing.
We waited on the beach where all the athletes finish their swim.
Alcatraz in the distance
Ross, Al, and Al 4 before the big swim.
At this point the race had already started. If you look closely you can see white splashes by the boat and that is everyone swimming.
We did a lot of waiting
Coby trying to hold the binoculars steady
The very first swimmer out of the water....it only took him 20 minutes or so to swim 1.5 miles.
The first girl swimmers out of the water
I can't even explain how amazing it was to watch this guy. WOW
I made collages because I took so many pictures. Al
Al 4
Ross
Playing around with some picture editing
The finish line
AMAZING
loved all the creative outfits
I'm so glad Al wore yellow or should I say I'm glad I searched for hours for a yellow Zoot shirt to match his helmet and bike. It's all about color coordinating especially in Triathlons. I could spot him so easily in that shirt and it was so nice.
I love this picture of Al's dad. You can feel the energy from looking at the picture.
Al 4 finishing.
Al and I after the race.
Meet my husband the triathlete. The race was amazing to watch. I'm so proud of Al for all his hard work and dedication. You did great!!
