Hills and Heights

Our first couple days in SF are going well! Ian got to work yesterday and enjoyed meeting the west coast team.  :)

We also successfully turned in the rental van and are now car-less. Walking in this city sure is a work out, but the views are amazing!! This was my walk home today, one block from our place


The apartment is great, needs some
love and care, and decorating but is definitely home material.  You walk into our place from a small courtyard area and then see the entry way and kitchen.  The bathroom is to the left and to the right is the living room.  Through the living room is the bedroom, which has a small balcony off of it. I am hoping to grow some vegetables out there!  
Here's a small peak at the apartment (pay no attention to the piles of stuff)



We will keep you updated as we settle in! Miss you all and sending love!

Bayside at Last!!!

We finally arrived!!! All in one piece and managed to unpack the van and do one target run for the essentials. 

This trip has been an amazing experience     to say the least, and we'll write more tomorrow :) 


Hello San Francisco! 

Miss you all and sending love 

A Great Dam Day :)

For the first time on this trip, we had a relatively "short" drive from Flagstaff, AZ to Las Vegas,NV (4 hour drive, seems like nothing) 

As we followed our directions, we found ourselves in an area with very limited food options...however! We came across the Grasshopper Deli.  This deli has no clear signage and a pot dispensary next door, but let me tell ya, they provided amazing turkey sandwiches.  Seriously amazing. 

From there, we continued to the Hoover Dam!! We had never been before and it was really awesome to see on person.  We also took a tour of the power plant and learned a lot about the dam's history. 



Las Vegas was then our final destination of the evening, and we stayed at the Cosmopolitan which was soooo nice.  Dinner at a sushi bar and grill and some
time on the slots was fun! (I made a profit of $3.50, sweet). Our room at a view of the Bellagio light show too! 


And Ian wanted me to add this picture.... I was excited about my slots profit
