So here we are in Napa Valley for a few days… in Corbin-esque fashion, I had no idea where we were headed until we arrived at the airport early Wednesday morning. While grabbing coffee in the terminal, I heard the flight attendant call “Gate 36, now pre-boarding for San Jose airport.”
Ah-ha…my first clue.
We spent the childless flight reading magazines, arrived in San Jose to rent a very fun silver Mustang convertible, and headed north on 101 to San Francisco.
Highlights:
– a very hot Peet’s Coffee
– cool breezes, enough to pull out my sweater
– ferry ride to Sausalito, a yummy Italian lunch & a great boutiques
– Passed Alcatraz on the ferry ~ what an intriguing place
– Pier 39 & Fisherman’s Wharf (hadn’t been there since Kirsten & Brandon’s wedding 10 years ago)
– people watching, people watching, people watching
– Union Square – wow! Thank the Lord for a husband who enjoys shopping!
– Coffee & Ipods everywhere…even couples walking hand-in-hand wore headphones while holding a cup of Starbucks
– Dinner at Sam’s Grill in downtown San Francisco, a really cool seafood place with individual rooms per table. My sea bass was better than Corbin’s sole, but barely.
– Driving north to Napa Valley, where we’ll spend the next few days. Corbin is in a conference here for work, so I get some much-anticipated quiet time (Thank you, thank you, Mama & Papa!!)
