Weekend in San Francisco + A Surprise Jaunt to Napa!

We don't have many pictures from our weekend trip to CA, but we did have a great time! For the MLK holiday weekend we zipped down to visit our good friends Sarah & Emily who moved to the Bay Area last fall. We didn't have any agenda for the trip - and on Friday night before we flew S&Em asked about rolling up to Napa to check out wine country. I quickly emailed Linda on Saturday morning to see if they were around - and they were! So we were able to sneak in a coffee with them too. The best treat!

Sarah, Thor and I wine tasting at Frogs Leap. 

Four trouble makers at Elyse Vineyards - our favorite winery. They had their '09 Morresoli (sp?) Zin on super sale - so we split a case. Yahtzee!


On Saturday we headed to The Dolphin Club - an old SF open water swimming club. Sarah is a member and loves the piece and quiet of swimming in the bay. I went in with her while Thor and Emily relaxed and read their books. They may have been the smart ones - the water was only 53 degrees! 


I don't know how Sarah does it in just a suit! She says you acclimate. I was the only person there swimming in a wetsuit, but I was soooo glad I had it on. 


It was fog to the deck for 95% of our trip, but it lifted for about 2 hours on Sunday afternoon (AFTER our swim, naturally).


Sarah & Emily live about a 5 minute walk from Pacific Beach - not too shabby! Monday we hit the beach for a walk, went to Outerlands for breakfast (yum!), and went to visit Emily at work at Timbuk2 in the Mission district. 


Overall we had a really relaxing weekend visiting great friends. It was a nice break from the hustle at home.
