Biking in San Fran

By hnelsons


Greetings from our fantastic vacation! Avery is enjoying Camp Koda in Fargo, Tomas is at Theatre Camp in Hopkins, and Toben and Heather are celebrating 15 years of marriage in Cali! yes, there are fires, but we haven’t seen any flames, just the smoke (which is making for fantastic sunsets).

On Tuesday, we rented bikes! yes, that’s right, the girl from the FLATTEST place on earth tried to bike in SF… but, it was fun. we started at Fishermans Wharf, peddled over to the golden gate bridge… all very lovely. THEN, we went up and over the Presido, through a bustling section of the city, and around a bit of golden gate park. The ride back to the wharf was not quite as brutal (and, at that point, we’d figured out it was good to walk the really steep parts… you know, work the gluts too). It was, actually, very fun.

On Wednesday we rented the superfun mini-convertible for our drive up north.

Our first wine-tasting stop was spectacular as it was at a winery/lavendar farm in full bloom. Smelled fantastic, and the wine was good too!

Today we are off to Bodega Bay…

Special note for my little guys: mommy misses you!

    You guys are so cute! Looks like you are having a great time. Be careful parking on those hills. You know how you have to park sideways? One time Justin and I were walking in SF and we heard this little asian woman yelling for help. Her driver’s side door weighed more than she did and the gravity of the hill caused the open door to crush her against an adjacent car! I guess you don’t have to worry about that with the mini!
