when friends come to town

last week, some of my very favorite people came to visit.
they drove the rough seven hours from riverside to san mateo.
on labor day weekend.
with the bay bridge being closed.
that's friendship proven if i ever saw it.



good lookin' group a gals, huh?
we chatted and hung out sunday afternoon,
then headed to a couple of my favorite spots downtown san mateo.

the next morning, we were up early and off to sonoma!



  and what a beautiful day!







i had bought a groupon for a guided wine 
tasting tour through sonoma square.
we enjoyed looking at sites, meeting new people,
 and some yummy wines.








jennifer gave me a bad time for not blogging much lately,
so i started snapping photos of her.
sass is her middle name.





we then headed back to san francisco.
we purchased tickets for an alcatraz tour.
usually, we would have had plenty of time to get from sonoma to the embarcadero.
BUT the bay bridge was closed and there was more traffic on the roads.
i was nervous we wouldn't make it,
but God is good and we made it in plenty of time,
enjoying some great views along the way.







we made it to pier 33 and boarded to ferry to alcatraz.
the sky was beautiful and the weather was perfect!





and then we got to the rock.







we did the audio tour and it was amazing.
i went to the rock in school when i was a kid,
but all i remember is getting sea bay sick
and being completely freaked out.
the tour was well done and it was neat to see this
part of american history with new eyes.







laura was our resident historian on the tour.
you can tell she was in her element.


if you didn't believe me before about the gorgeous day, maybe you will now. 

since we were playing tourists,
i went ahead and bought the professional picture.
tens all around!

on tuesday, we went to a local coffee shop.
i didn't snap any photos, but it was a good time.
almond croissant, i love you.

all in all, a fabulous time spent with friends!
thanks again for coming to visit me;
love you ladies!


Cincerely,


Cindy

July: hello and goodbye

is it really the end of july?!
it seems like just yesterday i exploring the wonders of europe.
maybe this month has flown by because it's been a busy one.
here's my july recap.


 went on a life-threatening camping adveture with these ladies.

 last weekend, my freshman year roommate traveled north
to celebrate a very special lady and her newest addition.
not only did we have a great time partying,
we also took deanna to her first giants game!
an amazing weekend with some incredibly special people.


this past weekend was destined for greatest.
it all started with a visit with kimber.
our friendship has been long distance for the past two and half years,
so spending time together in person is absolutely treasured.

friday was my sister's birthday
and what better way to spend it than at the yard?
club level, toms, and corn dogs.
all was well until the "varsity blues" speech on the jumbo tron.
never a good sign at a giants game.

 on saturday, we decided to adventure.
we drove to tiburon in the north bay 
and took the ferry to angel island.
we hiked the five mile perimeter of the island.
a very doable, paved hike on an absolutely beautiful day!

on sunday, laura and i took our sisters out for their birthdays.
it's one of my favorite adult life traditions.
we took the sunol wine train.
even though we don't know much about wine,
it was still a super fun day!


this summer has been fabulous thus far.
europe in june,
stay-cations in july.
i can only imagine the fun that august will unlock!

cincerely,

cindy

10 on 10: a midsummer's day

happy 10 on 10!
i love this day.
day shift 10 on 10's are hard
and not very interesting.
all the fun stuff can't be photographed 
because of this little thing called "hippa."
so rude.

anyway, hope you enjoy a glimpse into this crazy day!

early morning salad making

split pea soup fog-
in july

messy is a way of life



i took the last piece

commuter jams

best way to end a work day.


happy mid summer y'all!
