Summer '08

It is hard to believe that summer is drawing to a close already (especially because most of the summer was cold and foggy and it is now hot and beautiful)! It has been a busy, but fun, summer for us between working,visitors, and exploring the area. We will have to make this 2 posts because there is just too much to fit into one!

At the end of June, Rachel's brother Brent had leave from the Army and decided to come out for a visit. We had a great time showing him around the city and wished he could have stayed longer!

Rachel and Brent at Twin Peaks

Cable Cars


Arm Wrestling at the Musee Mechanique... we both lost!


Brent and the Golden Gate Bridge

Alamo Square, a familiar view from "Full House"

Ginger... the mattress killer! Poor Brent had to sleep on our couch all week after he woke up on a flat air mattress the first night. The naughty little kitty bit through the air mattress and then made herself comfortable.

In mid-July, Rachel's parents came out to San Francisco for her dad's work. Again, we had a great time showing them around the city for the week. We even got to see some things we hadn't seen yet!
