In mid-January I visited three cities that start with an “S” within a week’s time–San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito.<\/p>\n

I went to San Diego for work a few weeks ago for an amazing (can you sense my sarcasm here?) three-day training at our San Diego campus.\u00a0 The best part of it all was that I was able to make a quick visit with my good friend Heather, her husband Steven, and their adorable pup Jack since they live so close to where I was staying.\u00a0 Heather picked me up after work and she made us an amazing vegetarian dinner which was enjoyed while telling stories about what’s going on in our lives (she’s a runner and a blogger <\/a>too!) and commiserating over working at universities.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The best part of the visit (just don’t tell Heather and Steven)?!\u00a0 Getting to spend some time with Jack!\u00a0 I met him a couple of years ago and he was just a little rascal then and it was great seeing him in person after following his blog <\/a>for all this time.\u00a0 I didn’t realize how small he was, he always seems bigger in pictures (he’s just about the same size as Lola) and he is such a sweet dog!\u00a0 We’re hoping to get him and Lola together in the nearish future…they would have so much fun together!<\/p>\n

Check out those ears! And yes, one of them is always folded over to the side…so cute!<\/em><\/p>\n

Kevin’s mom Dorothy and his sister Judith came up the following weekend for a visit (and to be present at our 20 week ultrasound<\/a>!) and we visited two cities that start with an “S” together.\u00a0 We were only in San Francisco for a couple of hours but those hours were well spent…we went to Zante’s<\/a> for Indian pizza at the request of Judith who had never been there but heard such good things from my dad-in-law George.\u00a0 Even though I didn’t take any photos during our shotgun trip across the bridge I can confidently say that we made another Indian pizza convert out of an Edmonds!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The last city on our tour was Sausalito.\u00a0 We hadn’t been there since January two years prior when Kevin’s brother Thomas and our nephew Joshua came up for a visit<\/a> so it was about time to make another trip up to Marin County to take a stroll along the coast.\u00a0 It turned out to be a gorgeous day and we thoroughly enjoyed our time out in the sun with the yummy and refreshing sea breeze.<\/p>\n

Beautiful day in the Bay!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have like 15 of these candid photos of Kevin…I should make a slideshow of them all, what do you think?? Hehe.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kevin, Lola and a sea lion statue.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Judith, Dorothy and the San Francisco skyline in the background…it was such a clear day!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lola spotted ’em first…she’s thinking “C’mon, Dad, let me at ’em!”…<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kevin, Judith and Dorothy trying to get a good look at ’em too…<\/em><\/p>\n

What exactly were we looking at?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sea lions!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Relaxing in the sunshine<\/em><\/p>\n

We ended the day getting some ice cream (or sherbert, if your name is Kevin) and eating it in the sunshine.\u00a0 Here’s a fun animated slideshow of Kevin and Lola…check out her eagle eyes on that sherbert of Kevin’s!<\/p>\n
