Happy 4th of July

We had a great fourth of July! We had our first BBQ at our house. We've been here in San Fran for three years and still hadn't used our patio for a BBQ. The weather turned out perfect. We are so lucky to have such great friends and live in such a wonderful nation!

Carmel By the Sea

Over Memorial Day weekend Brady and I went down to Carmel. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. We had a wonderful time seeing all the beautiful sights!

On our way down we stopped by this amazing beach that our friends told us about.
You hike down a little path and then get to this beautiful beach that is surrounded by cliffs that block the wind and keeps you nice and toasty:)






After making a little detour to the secret beach we finally made our way to Carmel.

We stopped in the park for a little picnic.

After lunch we started the beautiful 17 mile drive.
AMAZING!!!

1. Bird Rock

2. White Sand Beach


3. Spyglass Golf Course

Brady was in heaven with all the amazing golf courses.

4. Cypress Point Golf Club
The greens are immaculate!

5. Crocker Grove "Oldest Cypress Tree"


6. The Lone Cypress



7. Pebble Beach


Lookout on the 17 mile drive
After the 17 mile drive Brady and I walked Ocean Avenue in downtown Carmel, stopped by the Cottage of Sweets:) and finished the walk at the beach.
We will definitely be back to Carmel soon!

Weekend with Ty

Last weekend my sister made the long drive to San Fran with a friend for a visit. It was a short trip, but we had a lot of fun!
Thanks for coming Ty!

We went to Off the Grid at Fort Mason

Off the Grid has all the best gourmet food vendors in one place.!

We had a hard time deciding which foods to try.

They also had live music.

We ended up trying some dumplings for an appetizer.
Then Ty and I split this burrito that Brady found that had french fries in it.
AMAZING!

So many people showed up. I'm glad we went a little early. The lines got pretty long.

The even had a little creme brulee stand:)

View from just up the hill in Fort Mason.
Love SAN FRAN!

After eating we walked over to the Palace of Fine Arts and walked around.

We've never been there before at night time. It was breath taking!

Saturday morning Brady made us his FAMOUS french toast.
YUM!!!

Then we went to the Beach.
Lilly loved running around the beach with her cousins.

Ty with all the pups.
Titus, Gidget, and Lilly.

Love you Ty!
