so much traveling and so little blogging


so much traveling and so little blogging..... but as part of my birthday (yes today is the day) resolution I will try to catch up.... so where have I been and what have I been up to?

well last week we were in New York for business and a little bit of family on Fathers Day. and then this weekend we (the we is Barry and me) are in San Francisco for our 11th anniversary and my 50th birthday.
So we did the touristy thing went to the wharf and had treif I know I will repent starting tomorrow. We also had the pleasure of celebrating with Gary, Holly and Erica on Saturday night at North Beach Restaurant, delicious not inexpensive but definite value for your dollar. If you are looking for good Tuscan food then this is the place (and if you are using mass transit, take the 30 bus and exit on Stockton, at Columbus)


So we didn't plan it this way but the Gay Pride Parade was this weekend (Gary, Holly and Erica were even walking in it) so we did what any tourist would ...we went to the parade but those pictures (that I can actually post) will have to be for another time.





So it's review time where did we eat and what did we do...

so breakfast came with all kinds of recommendations Sears Fine Dining well it was good but not great...now great was Max's we actually at there twice in the city and the Barry got a pastrami sandwich from them at the airport, Sammie you want deli you need to come here.








We went for a ride (3 times) on the Cable Car it was fun to just stick the camera up in the air and take pictures...(that is when you really appreciate digital cameras, cause what ever you don't like you get rid of)





So we were down on the wharf on Friday and Saturday. On Saturday we went on the Red and White Bay Cruise it was nice we really enjoyed it just letting someone else tell you what you were looking at. When we first came out of the harbor we could see the Golden Gate Bridge.... but then as we went under the bridge (at least they said it was there) it disappeared into the fog.....


But we had a great time took a lot of pictures...I even let Barry use the camera...














I think that might have been a mistake......, there is something to be said about being on the other side of the camera.
