I am so lucky to have the Momma that I DO! We had the best time in San Francisco over April 18-21 2013. I had just Graduated with my BSN and it was my Mom's Bday so we planned a fun weekend get away. I honestly wouldn't have wanted to go with anyone else! Our first day we got settled into our fancy Hotel and went out to explore the city. We ate lunch at a cute restaurant that seated you outside in between two buildings. It was a cute little nook off the road. That was the first of many meals to come with the yummy fresh fish and shrimp. We ended up getting on the crazy double stacked buses and got a tour of the city. We also went over the Golden Gate Bridge and froze our butts off on the way there haha. I forgot out windy and chilly it gets. The tour guide said that the weekend we came was supposed to be one of the warmest and nicest! Woot Woot.
We were able to do so many more things over the weekend like visiting Alcatraz. It is amazing to see where the prisoners were and fun to travel over to it on the boat. They had said how horrible it was for the prisoners because they could always here the laughter and celebrating over in the City and they knew they were stuck in such a horrible place. They also told us what laws and such the people had broke that had made them prisoners in Alcatraz.....pretty sure the majority of our population would be banished to Alcatraz these days. Maybe that's not a bad idea? haha jk. 
They have a temporary light show that is going on at the Bay Bridge and we were lucky enough to be there while it was still going on. It was really pretty! I can't remember how many millions of dollars they said it cost for it, but it was pretty ridiculous. San Francisco has one of the largest homeless populations, and they were literally everywhere. It was so sad. I can't imagine how many people could be fed with the money spent on lights, but we still loved it!
One of the things I loved most was the food (of course)! But I absolutely love fresh fish and shrimp, so we had it for every meal possible. "The Cod Mother" was one of our favorites as well as "Bubba Gumps." Yum! I think I came home a good 5lbs chubbier, but it was well worth it! We loved walking down at Fisherman's Worf and seeing the fun shops. We were able to go to Ghiradelli Square and share a banana split and thought lots of our Grandma Lue and how much she would have loved it there! Her diet consisted of chocolate, and more chocolate. We also paid WAY too much money for the lame Wax Museum. All I can say is holy ghetto! As you can see the cardboard cut out of Justin Bieber was the best part of the whole thing.
Sunday we had a pretty laid back day. We had grabbed a few things the night before for breakfast so we slept in a little and then got up to pack and get ready to go home. We tracked down a taxi to take us to an LDS church not far away and we were able to make it to Sacrament before our plane left.It was such a good meeting!!!! We were so happy we decided to go and had such an uplifting day! I learn from my sweet Mother on a daily basis. She is continually in tune with the spirit and has received so much comfort and guidance for our family and for me personally. I sincerely believe that she knows who she is and who's she is, and she has never ceased to teach me the same thing. When we are together and I get to hear her pray I can feel the relationship she has with our Heavenly Father. I hear her pray for my brother's and I fervently everyday and know that truly there are few things in life more sacred. Because of her faith I have been shaped into the woman I without a doubt in my mind I KNOW I have protecting Angels around me because of her prayers.
I LOVE YOU MOMMA!
