What they heck have we been doing? Post 1 - San Francisco

Of course I fall short in updating this blog. A few reasons for that; 1). I don't have kids so not too much changes on a day to day basis, 2). I'm not good about uploading pictures to my computer after I take them, and 3). I don't figure too many people read this so I don't think anyone is missing out on much. However, for those of you that do like to keep up with what we are doing I've got a few updates for you.
March 2010 - San Francisco, California - I was sent out to San Francisco for work for a week for the Enterprise Data World Conference. Fun, I know! It's actually a nice change of pace getting to meet and talk with customers and prospects in one place. After my week of work Daniel joined me and we had a week's vacation. We started off our trip by going to Monterey, California to visit Daniel's cousin and his wife, Bill and Mary Catherine. Bill is in school there right now and they will be moving shortly so it was a great time to visit. We hopped in our BRIGHT RED midsized car and drove the 2.5 hours to see them. Poor Daniel had been traveling all day and was tired b/c of the 3 hour time difference, but we managed. Monterey is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! If you haven't been to Northern California you are truely missing out. We were able to visit lots of place in and around Monterey; Pebble Beach, Big Sur, Pacific Beaches, Carmel just to name a few. After our weekend visit with The Muir's we headed back to San Francisco for the rest of our vacation. We did the usual things tourist do; Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Trolley ride, etc. I was able to scope out a few places that weren't so slammed with tourist while I was there by myself the week prior so we did get a little bit of a feel for the "REAL" San Francisco. Those happened to be probably the best and most memorable places to go. The little cafe's are SOOO YUMMY. Here are some pictures that document our time spent in San Fran. A wonderful vacation spot if you are looking to do something on the west coast.
