For my birthday this year Matt surprised me by planning a weekend trip to San Francisco (one of my fave U.S. cities) to see Ben Folds (one of my fave musicians) in concert. The trip was a success (obviously)!!!
The first day we rented a car and drove all around the bay area. We drove to Golden Gate Park then across the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods to hike around some beautiful California Red Woods and then we drove on to check out UC Berkeley (I fell in love immediately and totally want to Matt to go to school there. The area it's in is like a Sugar House area on steroids...so many fun shops and boutiques and restaurants.) We stopped at Trader Joe's (a must) and stocked up on kettle corn and other goodies and then ate at a Thai restaurant over there then headed back to SF via the bay bridge. We drove through downtown and headed up to Coit Tower to see the city at night and then went to check into our hotel.
The next morning we drove out to Half Moon Bay before we had to return the rental car. The drive on CA 1 was so incredibly beautiful. I sooooooo want to live in a pastel colored house in a coastal city near a vineyard with a year round farmers market down the street. Life would be pretty swell.
We dropped the car off and then headed downtown to hang out before the concert. We spent some time at the mall shopping, then we grabbed a quick lunch at Blondie's Pizza. We went back to our hotel to shower, watch unsolved mysteries and get ready for Ben. We headed out for dinner and dessert at Cheesecake (my fave) on top of Macy's with a great view of downtown while we ate and then headed off to the concert. Ben was amazing (of course), I just love him. We both had a blast. The weekend was a perfect getaway and a perfect 25th birthday. Thanks honey!
