Palm Springs Weekend

Katie, Paul, Nick and I went to Palm Springs for the weekend. The weather was beautiful, around 80 degrees. Dad was down from northern California for a bicycle race, so it was was the perfect place to meet him. We drove into town just in time to meet up with Dad at the finish line. He rode approximately 60 miles through the Palm Springs and Palm Desert. While Dad rested, the 4 of us walked around downtown Palm Springs and did some window shopping. After, we picked up Dad and the 5 of us had a fun dinner. Sunday morning we meet up for breakfast before Dad got on the road.

After we checked out of the hotel we decided to ride the Palm Spring Areal Tram. We traveled more than 10,000 ft up the side of the mountain in 10 minutes. The top of the mountain was covered in snow and the weather was about 50 degrees. We did some hiking through the snow, as well as some "sledding". It was really beautiful at the top of the mountain.

Honeymoon in San Francisco

The day after we got married in San Diego, Nick & I flew to San Francisco for the weekend for a mini honeymoon. We rode the BART from the airport and stayed in Union Square.

Friday we walked around Union Square and grabbed a late lunch. That night we met up with Nick's good friend Chris for drinks and dinner. Saturday we rode a cable car over to Lombard Street, then walked up to Fisherman's Wharf. We ate fresh crab and clam chowder for lunch before walking over to Pier 39 to see the sea lions. We then walked to Ghirardelli Square for an ice cream sundae before taking the cable car over to China Town. Saturday night we had a nice Italian dinner in North Beach.

The weather was beautiful and we had a great weekend in San Francisco.

The kids...

Here is our most recent picture of Luna & Kelly. As I was walking up the stairs, both of them were sitting at the top waiting for me. Usually Kelly is jumping on top of Luna, so this was a sight to see! I happened to have my phone in hand, so I snapped a picture. It's a little blurry, but I don't think I'll ever get another picture of Luna & Kelly side by side.

Here's another picture of Luna & Kelly hanging out together, caught on the cell phone.

Christmas Eve

While Nick was at work, I got to work in the kitchen on Christmas Eve. I made some Christmas cookies, with homemade frosting. It's my favorite time of year! Merry Christmas!
