san fran part 2

the second half of our trip to SF was full of food, exploring and bay to breakers! bay to breakers is a race that goes through the streets of San Fran and behind all of the actual runners is a massive crowd of wild individuals dressed up (others are dressed down...) having a good time. after hearing about the craziness of this event for the past few years we decided we had to see if for ourselves.

 ^^^ Nani was hit, to say the least ^^^

^^^ you could say we felt a little...over dressed^^^

^^^ many people come in groups & wear matching costumes ^^^

 after the race we grabbed lunch down at pier 23 & explored fisherman's wharf for a little while before we had to catch our flight home. the weekend flew by way too fast, as most weekend trips do, but it was a vacation for the books! can't wait for our next wild adventure...

San Francisco

Last weekend Mark & I flew out to San Fran to meet up with my family to celebrate my brother's graduation from law school! While we were there we were the ultimate tourists & I was totally fine with that. We began our trip with a visit to Alcatraz on Friday morning.

 ^^^ it was a bit of a windy day out on the island ;) ^^^

From housing some of America's most wanted felons to being occupied by Native American for over a year, this tiny island has quite a bit of history lurking on it. Not to mention, the grounds of Alcatraz are just beautiful. There were tons of flowers, greenery and wild birds covering the island.

We spent the evening at our little loft where we ate tons of pizza, salad and just hung out as a family...with the most amazing massage chair ever. I will be shocked if my parents don't purchase one after how much we all used it. ;)

The next morning we all woke up bright and early & headed off to University of San Francisco to watch Marcus graduate from law school!

^^^ he did it! ^^^

 ^^^ proud mama ^^^

 ^^^ & me just being me ^^^

Congrats again, Marcus! Law school is quite an accomplishment...now onto preparing for the bar!

Stay tuned for part two of our trip to SF...
