We've officially been in SF for one week!

It is hard to believe that Mike and I have been in our new city for one week. We toured the Bay Area while Davy was in town and took a Mr. Toad tour today to obtain a better feel for the city. Here are some highlights of our sightseeing adventures. Mike and I hope these pictures make you want to hop on a plane and visit us!

Muir Woods

Muir Beach...north of San Francisco.


What a view! Possibly our Christmas card photo?


We drove through Muir Forest which contains incredibly large trees, beautiful views, winding roads, and beautiful lakes like the one pictured above.

Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is a neat beach town. It has the longest pier I've ever seen. Davy and I are pictured on the pier with a shot of the beach/boardwalk in the background.


Sleepy sealion. :)


Santa Cruz was by far the coldest beach I've ever visited. 60 degree weather on the coast in July??!!??!! Guess I better get used to staying fully clothed on the Nor Cal beaches.

Mr. Toad's Tour of San Francisco

Chinatown....what an awesome neighborhood of the city. We ate wonderful Chinese dishes and learned many interesting tidbits about this area. For example, the locals shop for fresh produce/meat twice a day...before lunch and dinner.


The woman pictured above is making fortune cookies. It was a small factory, but smelled wonderful! We purchased an entire bag of them.


Mike really enjoyed his cookies!


Do you recognize these homes? Look familiar? These homes, known as the "painted ladies", are the opening scene of Full House. These beautiful homes cost about $3 million a piece.

So, I hope these pictures have provided you with a lil' taste of our new city. Both Mike and I have been busy working (I started my new job last Monday), but plan to take advantage of every free evening/weekend to explore our new home. Y'all come down and visit now!
