This weekend Keith and I went on a much anticipated Babymoon/Getaway trip to San Francisco. I'm probably one of those paranoid parents but I have a really hard time leaving Addie for more than a couple of hours at a time so 2 nights seemed very nerve wreaking. But we really wanted to get away before sister comes so we left Addie with Grandma and Papa Dickson and I think I was the only one that shed a few tears when we drove off. I know pathetic, but they're only little once.
We started Friday off with Pier 39 Fisherman's Warf, Ghiradelli square then finally China town.
Along the pier we found this little pinball and coin machine museum. We used a few quarters to play some of the games. This was the creepiest one with this dancing sailor....ya I may have nightmares of this one.
We had yummy clam chowder at Fisherman's Warf, then for some reason I craved fried shrimp the rest of the trip...weird pregnancy cravings.
We finished Friday night off with a movie (Guardians of the Galaxy), which was an awesome movie by the way!
Saturday we tried to take it a little easier because my poor prego feet were so sore from so much walking. After a slow start trying to let my feet rest, we went to famous Mission Street for some authentic Mexican food. We ate the BEST, seriously the BEST tacos I have ever had...and we may have eaten them for lunch on Sunday too because the baby really liked them ;)
We did a little shopping down Union street then went to "Into the Woods" play. We had awesome seats and it was a blast!
And of course we had to stop by the Oakland Temple, where both our parents were married, on the same day, same time...coincidence???
It is so beautiful at night!
Saturday night we also were woken up for a bit of a earthquake-a 6.1. Keith has felt them as a kid but this was my first one. It was very scary waking up to the furniture shaking and the building swaying side to side.
Sunday morning we had tacos down Mission street, again, then spent a short time at the beach before heading home. This mama missed her baby girl!
We were so grateful we could sneak away for a few days and that my mom was willing enough to watch Addie. It was so much fun and so nice to have some time together without the girl and before baby #2 comes!
