We had a fun week. We left the kids at my parent’s house on Sunday and Ray and I flew from Vegas to San Francisco. Ray had an IIA conference so I went with him. Part of the reason was so we could celebrate our 10-year anniversary. I can’t believe we have been married ten years! I couldn’t have picked anyone else more perfect for me. I LOVE YOU RAY! Here’s a flashback Friday photo for you of us on our wedding day.
We got into San Fran around 9:30 p.m. and took a cab to the downtown Marriott. On Monday, Ray went to his conference around 7:30 a.m. I went across the street and got breakfast at the Jack in the Box, then got ready for the day. I walked around, went to the mall, and some other outside stores. There was a gigantic Gap and Old Navy. I also spent time reading my book, Eclipse. Ray got done around 5 p.m. so we got on the F-line street car and went over to the fisherman’s wharf (pier 39) We walked around and then ate dinner at the Bubba Gump shrimp restaurant. It was a interesting place, everything had to do with the Forrest Gump movie. The food was really good. It was pretty windy down there on the coast, I was underdressed (shorts and short sleeve shirt) and I was freezing. I left my jacket at the hotel, dang it! We went to get back on the streetcar and the line was really long, then when it came only a couple of people were able to get on because it was packed full of people. So we decided to just walk back. We walked through some neighborhoods, and some other "touristy"places, we also walked through China town, but it was late enough that everything was closed.
Tuesday I pretty much did the same thing - shopped and read my book. That night we went to a steak place for dinner, John’s grill. It was established in 1908, crazy. The food, once again was really good.
Wednesday, Ray just had a half-day of his conference, and we were supposed to check out by noon. He ended up not going to the last speaker and we just checked our luggage in the "luggage storage" because we didn’t fly out until 8:30 p.m. We got on a bus and headed over to Ghirardelli Square. We ate lunch there, then walked down to the beach. It was a nice day. Then we headed back to the hotel. We hung out in the lobby, I finished my book and Ray surfed the internet. We caught a shuttle to the airport and flew out around 8:30 p.m. When we got to Vegas we drove to our hotel and hit the hay.
Thursday we got up and headed out. I planned on going to lunch
with my friends in Cedar at noon. Just after we passed Mesquite we had a tire blow out. Ray took off the shredded tire in the 100 + degrees (man it was hot) and put on the spare then we drove back to Mesquite to get a new tire. The first place we went said it would be a hour and a ½ wait, so then we went to Wal-Mart and they got it changed in about 40 minutes, then we were on our way again. I postponed my lunch by an hour and fifteen minutes, but I got there. Julie, Kami, Sundee and Laura were all able to come. Most of these girls I have known since I was 3. Kami and Julie were my age and in my ward, Sundee is a year younger than us, but one of the gang. Laura and I became friends in high school. Here is another flash back photo. This was taken our freshman year of college. Suzette is the only one in the picture that couldn’t come to lunch because she lives in Texas (we missed you!) Sundee, I don’t know why you weren’t in the picture – sorry! We had fun catching up with everyone and LAUGHING a ton. After we ate and gabbed for hours Laura gave me a ride to my parents and we got ready to head for home.
It was nice to be able to spend time with just Ray for a few days, Thanks mom and dad for tending the kids – again!
