San Francisco–Final Day

May 4, 2012

Our last day in San Francisco was a fairly lazy one as compared to the other days of our vacation.  It took 4 nights, but, our bodies finally adjusted to the time change, and, as a result we slept in on Wednesday morning. The original plan had been to take the ferry over to Sausalito […]

San Francisco – Day 4 (the time I tried to bike the Golden Gate Bridge)

May 2, 2012

You know how sometimes you go on vacation and wind up doing nothing but laying on a tropical beach and drink fruity beverages all day? This has not been one of those types of vacations at all. For a long time, I have had the idea in my head that it would be awesome to […]

San Francisco – Day 3 (Part 2/Alcatraz)

May 2, 2012

I need to preface this post by saying that I am not a history buff. Danny is a huge fan of the History channel, and most of the programs on there bore me. There are, however, a few specific times of history that intrigue me. Alcatraz and all that it entails just happens to be […]

San Francisco – Day 3 (Part 1)

May 1, 2012

Our third day in the city was our busiest yet. So much so that I am going to break it into two separate entries in order to do each part justice. As I mentioned before, all of the hills + walking our first day and a half here managed to do a number on my […]

April 29, 2012

We have arrived in San Francisco! Each year we try and schedule 2 vacations – one in the late Spring and another one sometime right before the holidays kick off. This year, it was sort of a last minute thing because we were waiting until everything was official with the sale of Danny’s parents house […]

Over The Weekend

April 22, 2012

This was a very busy weekend! Danny went strawberry picking for the very first time. He picked approximately 4 berries and then decided that farming was not for him. While I spent the remainder of the time filling up my basket, Danny took pictures like the one above. …and then decided it was far more […]

Closing a Door

April 17, 2012

Last week we (finally) sold the house that Danny’s parents lived in (and that him and his sister grew up in). Without going into all the details, this was long, drawn out process that involved tons court paperwork and a little luck.  As the executor of his parent’s estates, Danny has been stressed out trying […]

The Lost (Long) Weekend

April 8, 2012

Danny and I have had a rough couple of months.  Between work, getting his mom’s house cleaned out to sell and life in general – we’ve just been really stressed out.  After spending all of last weekend working on his mom’s house, we vowed that we were going to take some mental health time over […]

The Madness of March

March 12, 2012

Cue the song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” It’s that time of the year again!  Thanksgiving is great and Christmas is wonderful – but, my most favorite weekend of all is almost here.  My schedule is cleared (not that it was all that busy to begin with) and I am ready to […]

Turning Around the Struggle Bus

February 9, 2012

For the past few weeks, I have been walking around in a pretty foul mood.  Along with my bum ankle, I came down with a nasty cough last week and was just generally not loving life. On Monday, after a particularly challenging night spent coughing up a storm, I decided to pay a visit to […]
