San Francisco!

September 10, 2009

Another long overdue post!  Summer blew here and blew away – i can’t believe it’s already fall!   Catching up on my summer photos.  The sisters went on a crazy trip to San Francisco and visited the cousins.  It was so much fun!  I think we found that we’re similar in so many ways – how we’re foodies, love savory salted pig parts, obsessed with pop-culture, culture, wine, can spend the entire evening playing catch phrase like we’ve always been awesome teammates and mused over how funny our parents who are siblings talk/look the same and have the exact same mannerisms.  (Guess that part isn’t all that surprising!)

San Francisco Asian Art MuseumWhile the cousins worked during the day, we went on some crazy city tour with Auntie/Uncle Fung.  Shout out!  It was quite the comprehensive tour – first stop the Asian Art Museum.  Quite the lovely building!

Claire Forlani scene in The RockMy memory is failing me and i forget what this park is called – but i do remember that it’s the scene in The Rock where Sean Connery meets Claire Forlani.

San Francisco Painted LadiesThe exterior shot from Full House.  They used the Painted Ladies and didn’t bother asking the residents if they could – they didn’t think the show would be a hit.

Sausalito IslandWe could have spent more time in Sausalito Island.  Very cute Mediterranean town.

SF StopTire marks at the very bottom of the steep hilly streets.  Imagine if it snowed in SF like it does in Calgary!

Nappa Valley Scene A very nice change in pace from the windy/rainy city to Nappa Valley!  I can’t drink wine, but i still very much enjoyed the warm sunshine and the gorgeous scenery!

Nappa Valley Panoramic ViewCan you say wow?  Wow…!

Nappa Reflecting LeavesLiked the way how the sun beams danced with the leaves.

Nappa VineyardThese vines are going to make some people very happy!

Pixar jump I thought this was a fun shot taken in front of Pixar Studios.  Props to Jason for capturing this! =)

A wearing dad's capAnd these shots are super duper cute.  I miss her – our little baby cousin!  Looks like she’s taking after daddy’s sports’ fanaticism!  Thank you cuzzies for an awesome time.  I’m so missing Hog Island oysters…yum!
