so this is just embarrasing. but i figure a blog post about our trip to san fran is better late than never, right? haha so back in may... (i told you it was late) after we moved from provo to wilsonville, oregon, we decided to drive down to visit my in-laws in santa barbara! we wanted to get one good vacation in before robbie started working and would have to use vacation days. it is about a 16 hour drive from here to there so we planned to stop in the bay area and visit with robbie's grandparents in sunnyvale to kind of break up the trip (especially after driving 16 hours the day before). along with visiting with grandma and grandpa porter (which was so nice!!) we took a day trip to san francisco and spent the whole day there. i had never been before and so it was a ton of fun!
(these pictures are not in chronological order for some reason...)
we got to go to a giants game and it was so fun! this is robbie's favorite mlb team and i love going to baseball games so it was a win win! (:
our seats. not a bad view huh? i love how at&t park backs right up to the bay! such a cool view.

here was our first sighting of golden gate bridge
love this guy
it was incredibly foggy this day (as you can probably tell... haha)
it was also S O W I N D Y! holy cow, i was not ready for that haha
lombard street! apparently its the curviest road in the world! we drove down and it was pretty crazy. not sure if i would want to live on a street that people are constantly driving down. haha i actually saw someone moving in. i felt pretty bad for them.
this was actually the first part of our day. we went to china town! this was something i had been wanting to do for forever and it was totally worth it!
so sexy.
i was seriously amazed by how many things they had to sell. so i took lots of pictures. sorry... haha
