I left my heart in San Francisco...

I left my heart in San Francisco wearing these super cool glasses:
It's okay though because the good lookin guy on the right is taking care of it!

AH! I can hardly wait to get to San Francisco and just be there! We've already had such a great time exploring our new home. This is going to be another exciting chapter in our life! Here are some of the adventures we had during our second week in San Fran...

Surprise Alameda Date:
I planned a surprise date for Timothy John in Alameda. I had some help from on of my marketing professors who used to live in Alameda. I gave Tim tickets to the following events:
Two Tickets: Tucker's Ice Cream- Amazing ice cream... we'd love to take you some day.
One Ticket: Dinner for two at Asena- Mediterranean fine dining
Two Tickets: AVATAR (3D) at the historic Alameda Theater! Super cool!

Tim asked why we were going to get ice cream first and well it was because we had the movie to go to, but that was a surprise for later. Luckily for me Tucker's has a fabulous motto: Life is Uncertain, Eat Dessert First! So that was my excuse for going for ice cream first, what a perfect reason.

Next on the agenda was dinner at a recommended restaurant- Asena... I love sitting with Tim and talking about anything! I love looking in his eyes. I love after dinner when he goes through the details of the restaurant- everything from food to decor- and tells me what he liked and what he would change.

The main event was going to AVATAR.
We really enjoyed the movie and definitely recommend watching it. I think it is made for the theater and would say it is worth seeing it there. What added to the entire evening was the Alameda theater itself- awesome! We just don't make movie
theaters like this any more.



Other explorations took us to the pier where we got sourdough bread... yummy!
San Francisco shopping district- Crate & Barrel, Anthropologie, Bloomingdales, Martin & Osa.
Ghirardelli Square... just for the chocolate! Who can pass up chocolate? I can't!
Fun shopping area in Emeryville, with new found home design store: West Elm. New favorite? Possibly.


What's there to love in San Francisco?
Timothy John
Green, green, green (in January!)
Warm weather
Sourdough bread
Red woods
Anthropologie
My Love
Golden Gate Bridge
Tim
Chocolate
Wicked
Timothy John Abbott!

And that's why I left my heart.


I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me
