The Vacation is OVER

Already? Really? My week in California didn't seem to fly by while I was experiencing it, but now that I'm back, sitting here in my scrubs, putting off going into work as long as possible, I can't believe the fun is over.

I'm seriously going to be late if I type much more, but I will share a couple photos before I jet. I took HUNDREDS and I haven't even looked at them all yet, so I'll be sure to share more later.

This is a panoramic of Fallen Leaf Lake in Tahoe. We hiked through SNOW to get to it! 

ACTUAL SNOW!!!

How are YOU doing?! I've missed you, and have LOTS of blog catching up to do!! How's NaNo going??

Anyone Been to San Francisco?

This November, Handy and I will be celebrating our five year anniversary! We've only been in the same state (or country, in last year's case) as each other on our actual anniversary for year one. From what I can remember, we went to the Houston Zoo and a concert. This year, we're kicking it up a notch. We're considering San Francisco!

I've never even been to California, believe it or not. I'm looking forward to mild temperatures and lots of photo opportunities! We're not really wine drinkers, but I do want to drive north a bit and explore some vineyards. Maybe stay at a bed and breakfast for a night or two???

Any recommendations? Anything not worth checking out? Any AMAZING restaurants in San Fran? Any great hotels/B&Bs? To rent a car or rely on public transportation? These are my many questions.

I know I want to check out Alcatraz (apparently the last tour of the day is the best because it's dark and creepy and that's for me!), and I've heard something about a Fisherman's Wharf?

If you've got lots of recommends, feel free to email me (see CONTACT up on the navbar)! I'm in trip research mode right now, so any bit of info helps bunches! And if you've made any blog posts about your trip to San Fran with pictures, please direct me!
