Well, we have had an exciting few of days. I had a stretch of 5 days off so we tried to stay busy. waQw (Henry had to type a word there) The first day I was off we were lazy since I had worked the night before. But we still continued with our boot camp. After running we set out to Whole Foods to try and find some yummy fish. We had been looking around for fish but there aren't any good choices around the apartment. At Whole Foods we hit the jackpot! We got 5 days worth of fish and chicken!! On Friday we ended up doing boot camp, cooking and then headed over to Santana Row. We walked around down there and went to Pinkberry for dessert. My new obsession! We are going to have to open up a Pinkberry when we move back to NC because I don't think I can live too long without it! Saturday we took the BART train up to San Francisco. The BART train is like the metro in DC. We can drive up the road about 15 minutes and ride it up to San Fran. This way we don't have to worry about traffic, parking or parking tickets in the city! So we explored around the city all day. We started out by going up to see the Painted Ladies and the park where Donna Jo and Stephanie Tanner had picnics. They were having a St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival. We walked through the festival area and watched a portion of the parade. It was a very long crazy parade. After the parade we walked around the shopping district. We resisted the temptation to eat but I couldn't resist Peet's. I don't know if I have mentioned Peet's previously but it is absolutely the BEST coffee ever. Trey works at at Peet's in LA and was actually the person that introduced us to Peet's! I have no desire to ever go back to Starbucks. I guess I should add opening up a Peet's to the list of things we have to bring back to NC! After a long day of sightseeing we headed back home and cooked some yummy fish! On Sunday we did a food and wine tour in Sonoma County. We rode the BART train to San Fran again and rode a bus out to Sonoma County. So beautiful out there. Oh yeah and we finally got to see the Golden Gate Bridge and we even rode over it!!! Unfortunately the weather was too bad to get a good picture :/ We started the tour out at Mayo winery and proceeded on to a cheese tasting, another winery, olive oil tasting, chocolate tasting and then ended the day at another winery. It was such a great day! We had so much fun. We even met another travel nurse on the tour! We got her number and plan to eat dinner one night with her in the city. That brings us to today. After having two days off of boot camp we were at it again today. Today was the hardest we had done. We had to run for 5 min and walk for 1 for a total of 30 min. You might not think this is that hard but we have not really worked out for a long time so we busted our butts today! We are done with our interval training and we will start running the full time tomorrow. We are excited about this! I think that about sums up our weekend. I have to work tomorrow night and then I am off for another 2 days. Not sure what we are going to be doing those days. But I do know Brian is flying in Thursday night so we are getting excited about that. Until next time...
