This is China Town. It was okay. I don't think we saw all of it. A lot of it was the same.
We watched the seals for a while. They are so loud. They just push each other off the docks and walk all over each other. It was fun. I wish we could have fed them. Later on on our trip we were walking on another dock and one was just laying at the end. Some guy walked toward it for a picture. The seal freaked out and started making a lot of noise. It was so funny. The guy jumped and ran so fast.

My eyes are closed but I liked this picture cause you can see all the seals in the background.
We are eating a cherry bomb. It is a cherry with lots and lots of fudge that is dipped in chocolot. It was okay. Jarom really like it.
We decided to do the whole pearl experiance. We always see these everywhere. I got a blue one. The girl didn't even let me open the clam. We told her we wanted to spend maybe $30 dollars. She kept pulling out pieces that were way over $100. We spent $30. It was fun.
Here we are at The Aquarium at the Bay. It was cool. We walked through a tunnel of fish. Jarom was surprised how big this one fish was. I told him to smile pretty.

I thought this fish was cool because it is missing an eye.
Jarom in the tunnel.
This fish was right above me.
I was able to pet the tiger sharks. I was a little scared. The first time I pet any fish was when Dorias came to Vegas.
More petting. I wasn't suppose to but I lifted one of the legs. They are hard like a rock. One of the star fish did feel like leather.
We went on a sunset sailboat ride. It was fun. Very very cold.
I wanted to lay on the cargo net before everyone got on. The water is right under me. It was cool to stand on this while we were sailing. You get a little wet.

This is San Francisco from our sailboat. I liked the view! Jarom loved the view.

We sailed under the San Francisco Bridge.
The sunset.
I was so cold. I had a shirt, a light jacket, my Vegas winter coat, and the sailboats company's coat on. The wind was ice. We still had so much fun. It was romantic.
The next day we went on another boat to Alcatraz. We almost missed it cause I had to mail my mom's mothers day gift and then we lost our cable car passes. We just had to buy more. Then we had to walk fast to get there. We arrived 10 min. before. They were loading everyone on.
This is the prison.
I'm in the museum part of Alcatraz. We were able to read some of the inmate's personal stories. Some were creapy.

Me behind bars.
Alcatraz Island.

This is the first light house built on the west coast. It's on Alcatraz.
This is one of the cells the prisoners lived.
We had headsets on. I'm sure we all looked funny in silence. We learned a lot about Alcatraz. That night Jarom and I rented the movie "Escape from Alcatraz" It was fun. I wish we had watched the movie before we went. We bougth a cup as a souvenir. We saw the same cup in the movie.
We then went to the Boudin Sourdough Bread Bakery. They make different animals out of sourdough bread. We went on a tour. The clam chouder was really good. I still am not a big fan of sourdough unless it is my mom's pancakes.

This is the USS Pampanito. It is a sub. We were able to go inside. We should have payed extra for the headset to listen to the tour. We really didn't know what we were looking at inside.
A little blurry. It was a tight squeeze for both of us.
I am going down into the sub in this picture.
This is beautiful Jarom.
This is one of the cable cars. We rode them 2 times a day. They can really load on a lot of people.
We are walking down one of the streets. I was amazed at how steep the streats are. It messes with your eyes a little.
This is Lombard street. It would've been cooler to ride down on a bike. Just kidding I would crash for sure. I think it would've been better in a car. Jarom didn't want to walk all the way down knowing we would have had to walk back up.

Sitting on the brick wall on Lombard St.
We are at Ghridelli Square. We bought our own sundae's. Mine was mostly melted due to the hot fudge and brownie. Very good!
One of the precesses in making chocolot.
This is a bum at the Golden Gate Bridge. His pants are just another shirt. We saw so many homeless people in San Francisco. They don't even care. They will dig through the trash in a very busy area in the middle of the day. We would just watch. This guy justed talked to himself the whole time. It was kindof sad but he seemed happy.
We are actually at the bridge. I wanted to rent bikes and ride them to the bridge. Jarom thought it was too far. It probably was. We walked halfway across. I think they said one way was 1.7 miles.



This is a dolphin. We was several while standing on the bridge.

I flew to Rexburg, Idaho for the weekend. Eric and Charles already live there. My parents are on a road trip up there so I thought I would meet up with everyone. We are at the famous Big Judds. My mom keeps calling it Big Juggs. I only could eat 1/4 of the burger.

This is Jesse Kay, one of my best friends growing up. She lives in Idaho so I got to see her while I was in Rexburg. Her husband convinced her to like golf so thats what she had been doing. We just got caught up on what's going on in each other's lives.

This is the Rexburg, Idaho temple. Is is so so beautiful at night. You can see it on the hill from pretty much anywhere. I wish it was in Rexburg when we lived here. I was able to go to a session.
This picture was taken outside the Rexburg, Idaho temple. It was enjoyable to go with


In Rexburg we went to the park a lot. The swings were the best part. Charles and I were doing lots of tricks.


You would think me lifting weights a couple times a week would help me do a pull-up. Not a chance. I did one! I use to be able to do 10 no problem. That may have been back in 3rd grade. Ha Ha!
Krista, Charles, and I doing more tricks on the swings. It took some serious muscle to do what we did. Of coarse I am not lacking in muscles so it was cake for me. Just Kidding!
This is our very 1st apartment. We lived here our 1st year of marriage. It was Draper Oaks in Rexburg, ID

Charles thought I wanted some grass. I didn't.
