San Fransisco

San Fransisco

Last week me & the great Jessie Provenza, headed to San Fransisco for a few days and we had an absolute blast!

Two EXTREMLY hot chicks

Since neither of us had been, we couldn't help but go do all of the tourist stuff. We also did a lot of wondering and found some pretty neat things on our own.

Creepy Alcatraz

The infamous Alcatraz escape

Solitary Confinement - step in ... it will freak you out too

The famous super curvy Lombard Street

The Redwoods

Isn't China Town pretty?

No matter the location, China Town is always chaos

The Cable Cars

Scenic Sausalito

The National Landmark ... The Golden Gate Bridge

I never thought that I would come home from a vacation weighing less then I did before leaving, but hey what can you say when all you did was continuously walk up and down hills :) Jessie should hands down win some sort of award for always wearing her various cute, ever so high stiletto boots. Sorry ladies, I don't have any pics of her cute shoes ... but trust me ... you would have been highly impressed!

The steepness of some of the hills, can't be captioned in pictures. You have to see for yourself

Jessie & I couldn't wait to venture out into the Mission District, to check out Dolores Park. It was totally worth the weird bus ride.

WOW - can you believe that this is what most people climb to get in and out of their residence

Up, Up and Away

Besides the cornball in the corner ... isn't it beautiful!

We had so much fun whether it was laughing at the hotel guests who used their balcony as a clothes line, the old man standing in plain site in his tighty whites each morning, the MANY candy trips, my farting bed, Subway boy - wink wink Jess, the Italian paparazzi - another wink, wink Jess, sitting around the fire pit, sore hamstrings, etc. We had an absolutely fabulous time, and I can't wait to plan our next trip!!

Feliz cumpleaños Bananers

Hannah's Birthday Weekend

Hannah Bananers turned the Big 5 October 5th, and boy did we celebrate her birthday in style!

Chiki & I decided to wait til the ladies each turned 5 years old, to have their first friend party. Hannah had been counting down the days until her big bash for awhile, and wanted to invite anyone and everything.

We decided to celebrate with some roller skating - princess themed of course. Most of the party goers were skating for their first time, but boy did they all do a great job. Even Miss Olivia, who kept insisting on skating without assistance.

Pardon the dark pictures. Apparently, I am no photographer.

Hannah got some GREAT gifts... thanks friends!

Next, on the agenda ... piercing Hannah's ears. We have been telling her for years that she had to wait until her 5th birthday to get her ears pierced. Chiki and I actually had been trying to convince her to get them done for a few months now, but she kept telling us that she won't be ready until her birthday. So to our surprise, she told us that she would be ready right after her birthday party. And that is where we headed after the bash.

Hannah wondering what she is getting herself into??

This is what Hannah looked like, until she realized that there was nothing to cry over

Finally, the big day rolled around. Hannah chose to party it up with Miss Livi for lunch, at the great McDonald's. This girl loves chicken nuggets and french fries, and would eat them for every meal if I would let her.

Later that evening we dove into Hannah's barbie cake. This baby was such a pain in the butt to make, but was worth every moment of stress because Hannah absolutely loved it

The ladies

The infamous cake

Our little Hannah, is no longer so little. She is growing more and more everyday, and I mean that literally. She only wears a few shoe sizes below me.

Hannah is definitely maturing into a fine young lady, and I wish her daddy much needed luck when we reach the high school days!!

Hope you had a GREAT birthday weekend baby girl
