San Francisco- Golden Gate Park & the 49er's Game


We just got back from our trip to San Francisco, we had a blast! This is the first set of many pictures that we took. Gavin & I left with my Mom and Drew Thursday morning bright and early. ( A 6:45 flight). My dad was already in San Francisco and picked us up from the airport. Jayden couldn't come out with us on Thursday because of work and school. He flew out Friday afternoon to meet up with us. The first day we went to Golden Gate park. The park is beautiful. We went to the Japanese Tea Gardens and the conservatory. It was a fun afternoon and we did a lot of walking. The weather was so nice and warm. After the park, we headed to the 49er's game. It was a our first time at an NFL game. The traffic was horrible, and the game was really hot, but it was well worth it. It was quite the experience and a lot of fun. I even had 3 people playing in the game from my fantasy football team!

Fall Break Getaway

This last week was Jayden's fall break, so we decided to take a little getaway. We had my parents watch Gavin all day Monday (he stayed the night) and part of Tuesday. We drove down to Cedar City and had lunch at Pastry Pub ( which is the best!) then we drove up the canyon and stopped at Cedar Breaks. Cedar Breaks is incredible! After spending a few hours enjoying the canyon, we checked into our hotel at Brian Head. We had time to take a little nap, then it was time to head out for dinner. We had dinner at Milts. The food is SO good. We both had the filet mignon with 3 fried shrimp. Oh man. I usually don't eat that heavy of food, so I definitely felt it after, but it was SO worth it. After dinner, we drove back down to Cedar City to the Shakespeare festival to see Les Miserables. Les Mis was amazing! We are so excited for the movie to come out this Christmas. After Les Mis, we drove back up to Brian Head to spend the night. The next morning had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant. It was delicious and the hotel and restaurant were empty because of the off season. We drove back after breakfast and stopped in Provo to see Pitch Perfect, which was so funny. Then we picked Gavin back up, it was so good to see him (even though we only had been gone 36 hours, it seemed like a long time to be away from him!!).
