San Francisco

I have been meaning to post the pictures from our trip to San Francisco last weekend for awhile now, but because of my busy work schedule this past week, I didn't have the chance until now. I had my first big conference that I have been planning since September this past Thursday and Friday. I was very blessed that everything went well. I will post some pictures from the conference on a different post.

We arrived in San Francisco late Thursday night. My family had already been in town for 5 days since my sister lives there. Brandon's parents arrived just an hour before we did. It was fun to see them all! Brandon gave his presentation early Friday morning and he did an outstanding job especially since he had just come down with the awful cold that is going around. He hung around the conference for a little bit while I went with my family to see my sister and her fiance's new condo in San Fran. It is brand new and has an amazing view of the Bay Bridge (see the pics below!). I can't believe how high the cost of living is in the city though and am not sure if I could ever afford to live there! The condo has valet parking only because of limited parking and it is a beautiful place to live.

The weather was beautiful on both Saturday and Sunday and it was hard to leave to come back to cold Rochester. It was so nice to walk along the Embarcadero and eat lunch outside. On Saturday, we drove down to Half Moon Bay so that Brandon and I could see the ocean. It was pretty windy and a lot colder that being in the city. However, Brandon still had to test out the temperature of the ocean!

We had a great time and we were so blessed to get the chance to see all of our family!

San Francisco can be so nice. The cold can "cut right through you" as well. All of you look as though you are having a wonderful time. (Obaa and Ojii)
