... and, then I got pregnant.
I was in my first trimester and super sick and tired when it was time to travel. Rescheduling the trip was not an option as I thought that somehow I would be able to shake it off.
Wrong. You can't shake off pregnancy. Maybe the flu or a cold, but not a pregnancy. It not only penetrates your entire body and mind, it temporarily changes you as a person. You literally have zero control over your body and mind, even if going to San Francisco has been your dream.
So, the sad reality is that the trip wasn't what I wanted it to be: I fell asleep on the tour bus and missed half of the sightseeing tour, I threw up at the Golden Gate bridge, and slept for 16 hours at the hotel after the trip to Alcatraz. Poor Ed... He wanted to do stuff, but he never complained once. He wanted to ride a trolley, but we didn't because I didn't want to..
But, we did manage to do some things: we walked the streets of San Fran quite a bit, compared to our typical non-walking life style. We visited Alcatraz, we ate out at some cool (and pricey!) restaurants, we went to China Town (and had some strange and not very appetizing Chinese food), and went on a San Francisco Dinner & Dance Cruise, which was wonderful. We were in San Fran for only 3.5 days (long weekend), so there was only so little we could do.
After we got back to DC, we decided that we will definitely go back. There is so much to see, including Sonoma! It's definitely a trip that couples should do sans children, so I’ll keep on dreaming of San Francisco in the meantime :-)
I brought along my Canon SLR but I didn't take many pictures for the reasons mentioned above. Below are the ones that I am not too embarrassed to show.
