Here is the rest of my San Francisco post:
First of all, in the preview picture I mimicking the Juan Marichal statue outside the Giants' AT&T field. As you'll see in the slideshow above, my sisters, parents and I had a contest to see who did the best job. I totally won! Ha ha.
Anyway, a couple weekends ago my Dad's cousin, Brooke got married in Half Moon Bay (a suburb of S.F). I was one of the lucky one's invited so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go! It was hands down the nicest wedding I have ever attended.
The ceremony was at 'Liquid Sky Vineyard.' It was basically on a cliff that over looked the ocean. Brooke looked absolutely stunning as she walked down her rose pedal aisle. After the ceremony and cocktail hour, we were taken to Cetrella Restaurant where the reception was. Talk about detail oriented! From the party favors to the wedding cake... amazing! We ate the most DELICIOUS food and danced to the most FABULOUS band. It was definitely a night to remember. The only thing that would've made it better is if Dave were able to go. School conflict. LAME!
Before we headed to Half Moon Bay for the festivities, we spent 2 days in San Fran. When I FINALLY met my parents and sisters there (ya, I missed my flight so I didn't get there til the late afternoon instead of the morning), we walked around the city and met my Aunt & Uncle from New York for dinner. They were also there for the wedding. It was fun to spend time with them since I don't get to see them near enough.
The next day after meeting up with Summer, Eric and Mindy (fam from Park City) for breakfast, MY fam decided to go to Alcatraz. After waiting in the line forever, the tickets for the day sold out. WHAT? So we decided to rent bikes and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. Let's just say I'm a little out of shape. Getting to the bridge was all uphill and freakin' TOUGH! But it was AWESOME! The coolest part for me was riding with my Dad. As some of you may know, he's had a lot of health problems in his life. He's had more than one kind of cancer, Multiple Sclerosis and Demilantation Neuropathy (sp?). Those are just the big ones. When I was younger, I didn't think my Dad would be around when I got older. Not only is he around, but he's doing AWESOME! His health has improved quite a bit and not only that, but he is addicted to working-out (mid-life?). He ROCKED the bike ride! He was literally riding circles around us, well Me anyway. It hit me then how lucky I am to have my Dad around & especially that he is healthy (considering) and in-shape.
After the work-out of my life, we met the whole fam for the Giants vs. Pirates game. It was a CRAPPY game, as far as the actual game went. But we still had a good time.
The field is beautiful and, thanks to my cousin Rich, we had the BEST seats (until we moved up to sit by our parents). For the record, I'm not much of a baseball fan, but it is pretty cool to be at a Major League game. Luckily, I come from a family of baseball fans so I've been to a few and I've loved every one.
It was so great to spend time with my family, from my Aunts & Uncles to all of my Grandma Jean's sisters, who I've been blessed to be close to my whole life. The only one missing on this trip (besides Dave) was my Grandma Jean. Although I'm sure she was smiling down on us. In my opinion, her biggest accomplishment in this life was her family. I have SOooooo many good memories of my Grammy Jean (I'll save that for another post), and because of her, we have a super close extended family who knows what fun is. It's always a party with the Nelson/Anderson clan! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
