Recently....

I've walked up the biggest hills I've ever seen, this one was tame...

We took the ferry over to Tiburon and had drinks at Sam's,

I did not get drunk despite my sad camera skillz...

We played tennis and then walked down to the beach...

I got an $8.00 mani!...

We sampled free food and listened to music on a rooftop at the Best of Polk St Block Party...

This reminded me of Coyote Ugly, ladies, you know the scene I'm talking about...

We saw a pristine van, so rad...

We sat down to eat here and then bolted when we saw the $35 lobster roll...

maybe when I get my first paycheck...

We went to a county fair.  It was pretty awful and I owe KTW big time for dragging him to this...however,

 There were rides, he went on two, I went on three...

 There were cute little piglets...

 There was a pie-eating contest...yuck,

 And KTW rode this old time-y ferris wheel with me :)

So, that's why I haven't blogged in over a week.  I'm sorry, I'll get with it!

Cowgirl Creamery

Yesterday after an interview on Market St (fingers crossed!), 

I walked down to the Ferry Building for some lunch.  

There are so many fabulous options but I'm a sucker for grilled cheese so Cowgirl Creamery it was!

 I ordered their special of the day, "Wagon wheel and fiore sardo with arugula pesto."

 I ate one half while watching the cars and trolleys go down Embarcadero.  It was melty and gooey and perfectly tangy with the pesto addition.

The other half is my afternoon snack today.

So far, one of my favorite things about SF is the palm trees.  Walking around that afternoon, I felt like I was visiting a quaint little beach town instead of a large city.

Hope you have a wonderful palm tree filled, gooey cheese filled weekend!

1st San Francisco Post

Hello from the West Coast!

Flying over Colorado, still snow on the mountains.

I have finally made it, after making stops in Santa Rosa Beach, FL and Nashville, TN, I am now writing this from my new "workspace" in the Marina in San Francisco!

Yesterday I made my first grocery store run and grabbed three different shades of gerbera daisies. 

 They make my "workspace" happy.

KTW and I have had fun going on dates since I arrived, something I had really missed during our long-distance relationship.  Last night we went to The Tonga Room where some of his colleagues were meeting for happy hour.  Located in the bottom of the historic and beautiful Fairmont Hotel, this bizarre, quirky tiki lounge is anything but expected.  It was a little dark for pictures so check out their website.  The indoor thunder and rainstorms were pretty entertaining.  Afterwards, we came back to the Marina for pizza at Delarosa, fabulous!  I ordered this watermelon wheat beer and was thrilled to see the can,  The Statue of Liberty resting on the Golden Gate Bridge, 

sounds quite familiar to this former New York girl... :)
