Ribbit!

Got a few good pics of my baby boy on Easter Eve. He insisted on the frog boots!

The Tonga Room

On our last night in San Francisco, Connor and I got to enjoy a special dinner together at
The Tonga Room at the Fairmont San Francisco.  What a fantastic place.  If you go to San Francisco, you just have to go here.   It's a high-style Tiki restaurant that opened in 1945 and transformed the hotel's swimming pool into a massive Polynesian pond with moving band boat.  The place is spectacular.  And the food...well, its fantastic.   The best hot and sour soup I have ever had and Connor's orange chicken literally melted in the mouth.  It was hands down our favorite night of the vacation than included a final ride of the cable car at night. 

The Rock

Connor and I had to seriously hunt for second hand tickets to get to go to Alcatraz.  Even with all of my pre-trip web crawling, I had no idea that tickets can sometimes sell out weeks in advance and that's what happened to us.  Fortunately, there's a nice resellers (read: markup) market and we were able to make it happen.

Some surprisingly pretty ruins on The Rock

One of the original buildings--part of the fort that was there before it became a prison

Flowers blooming everywhere and beautiful architecture

Coastal Redwoods

Took a quick tour of Muir Woods and SCORE...got to see the Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobile at the same time! It was parked right at the entrance.

Spotted-First Day in San Francisco

Seriously. Not kidding.

Good But For The Hair

Shockingly, a decent school picture.  No weird screwed up face and mouth.  The hair is bad--I was out of town.

Red Robin Red Neck

You might be a redneck if....halfway through your corn dog at the local Red Robin you are suddenly possessed by the need to take off your shirt.
