Last weekend we traded sunshine for fog by heading up to visit Anuradha up in the Bay Area. We took advantage of both Mike and Anu's President's Day off by fitting an amazing amount of things into three very short, but very awesome days. It all started with a day trip to Napa, where Mike did most of the drinking, per usual.

The next day, we headed into the city. We explored Alamo Square, including the Full House famed Painted Ladies, saw some murals in the gritty Mission District, met up with friends for drinks and ate some of the best Thai food we've ever had. We also discovered that 3.5 Yelp star restaurants are typically the best restaurants. Don't fall for 4.5 star hype.
 |
| We couldn't help ourselves. |
 |
| Spring in SF, not a bad view. |
We topped it off with one more day in the city by the bay. This time, we spent most of our day seeing how the .01% live in SF's famed "Billionaire's Row", the stunning Pacific Heights neighborhood. Then we did a 180 from there by walking amidst the bums, stoners and drunks in Dolores Park. Don't worry, Mike also looked like the the former by finishing a bottle of Merlot that we bought from a vineyard in Napa.
 |
| Anu had us do an impromptu pregnancy photo shoot in the Palace of Fine Arts. |
|
 |
| Your typical house in Pac Heights. |
 |
| Mike's favorite van. |
 |
| Is that a pregnant lady drinking wine? Nope, just Mike and Anu's friend Sam. |
Overall we had a terrific "babymoon" or do I dare say "Bay-be-moon" in the Bay. Great times, great friends and great sights. We may be SoCal, but it's hard to deny the charm of SF and all it has to offer.
