Labor Day Weekend 2012

Disclaimer: 
(1) Sorry for all of you that live in the Bay that we didn't see while we were there - it was family time ;-)
(2) Photo Bomb post! 

We drove up late on Friday night, arrived at Rich's parents house in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday.

Saturday morning, we woke up and had french toast and then headed downtown to walk around. We ended up stopping at the Local Ale house. We all paid $1 extra to get 22 oz beers! Oh man... All before noon!


After the Ale House, we walked around and stopped in this cute little square and did some wine tasting - yes, around noon! haha!





The rest of Saturday was spent relaxing in the sun drinking wine in the backyard! Enjoying our family time!

On Sunday, we headed to my parents house 


My high school brother is taller than I am!


All of the "kids"
Gosh there are some handsome men in my life! 

Sunday night we had dinner at my parents house with Rich's family visiting. It was nice to have everyone together!


Brotherly love!

On Monday, we woke up early and headed downtown SF!
The day could not have been more beautiful!



We took BART into SF, got off at Embarcadero and walked from Market to Fisherman's Warf!

As we were walking we decided to stop in Tcho (pronounced "cho") and it happened that they were giving a free tour of how they make their chocolate!

After the tour we had a TchoShot - which is basically a shot of liquid chocolate! It was so rich and delicious!



We stopped at Boudine for a Clam Chowder Bread bowl.
It was amazing! 


The most gorgeous day!



We stopped in Buena Vista for an Irish Coffee and happened to sit down where the bar tender was making them! It was soo neat!


The best Irish Coffee outside of Ireland - I am sure...! ha


From The Buena Vista, we walked up Hyde Street to the Civic Center Bart Station- yes, walked!


On the walk, we walked by the Winding Lombard Street, through Nob Hill and Russian Hill.


We then headed back to my hometown for dinner and then drove back to LA. 
It was such a great weekend! 
We both needed to get away!

It looks like it was a great Labor Day weekend for you! We thought about going over to SF but we figured it would be PACKED because of the holiday.
