San Francisco!

BJ had a conference in San Fran October 15th through the 17th and, because of a dear friend who was willing to watch my crazy kids on top of her own four, I was able to go with him. We met up with some of our dear friends and old neighbors.  The boys went to work and Kristen and I got to play; 
NOT FAIR!  But SO fun! We did see the boys at night, so don't feel too bad for them! 
Probably not too P.C., but we thought this was a hilarious name!
Kristen and I took a bike tour around the city and into Sausalito and Tiburon.
We saw so much of the city this way!

Hey! We're on the Golden Gate Bridge!

The Bay Bridge
Our new friend, Torbin, from Denmark, took our pic and allowed us to introduce him some to very important American treasures: Salt Water Taffy and Root Beer.  He stuck with us for most of the 17-mile ride.
Our boys were there to meet us at the dock and rode our bikes back  for us to save our weary legs (and tooshies!)
Name that movie! 
We visited Fisherman's Wharf, saw (and smelled) the Sea Lions,  ate clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, saw Lombard Street, China Town, rode the trolley and in a cab, and walked around Golden Gate State Park.
We even saw the "Silver Man."  The "Gold Man" must have taken a day off!

All in all a very thorough introduction to San Francisco!
