After taking off from the dinner, Rob and I headed back to our little apartment, dropped off somethings and grabbed a few last minutes things and then headed off for Park City. We stayed in the Marriott up there, thanks to Rob's uncle. He gave us his time share for those few days. The next morning we woke up to get some breakfast. We walked to main street and ate at a little restaurant there and then walked back to our Hotel. The next day Rob surprised me with a day at the Spa!!! We went to Amatsu Spa and it was amazing. The place was amazing and the treatments were amazing the massage the lunch after, the day was just spectacular. He's such a thoughtful and sweet husband.
So Monday morning we woke up super early so we could go to the car rental place and take off.
We stopped off at our place to change suit cases and then took off for Tahoe. The drive was long but so worth it. I love road trips with my hubby. We have so much fun and laugh and sing and joke and just have the time of our lives.
When we got to Tahoe it was late so we just hung out at the pool and then went to bed. The next morning we woke up and I had yet another surprise. It was another massage!!! I'm so spoiled. The second one wasn't as good, BUT I was so happy anyways to go. After the massage we went off to the Lake and tok some pictures and just sort of played on the beach. We then played a round of Mini Golf at the Magic Carpet Golf. Needless to say Rob kicked my butt. It was my first time in Tahoe so all of it was new and very exciting to me. We ate some Thai food for dinner (YUM :) ) and then went to see Abduction.
We took off for SanFransico on Wednesday morning and got there in about four hours from Tahoe. Again the drive was fun and just full of jokes and laughter. I had never been to SanFransico so I was just ecstatic to be headed there. We stayed in a really nice hotel in Lafayette just about twenty minutes outside of SanFransico. Our first night there we got in a little later in the day so we decided to stick around town and just hang out BUT first we wanted to see if we could sneak in a quick session at the Oakland Temple. SO we were on our way there and we had just gotten onto the freeway when we ran out of gas!!! The next exit wasn't for a little over a mile and it was all up hill. Poor Rob got out and started to push the car. He pushed us until we could park it on the side of the freeway and climb down an overpass to try to get to a gas station. The climb in and of it's self was a huge adventure. We had to climb down a huge rocky hill, scale a rickety chain link fence (Which I ripped my Favorite Skirt on) and then hiked it into the next town for a little gas can. After that we had to make the trek back to the car and do it all over again.
We finally made it to the temple but sadly we didn't make it to a session, but we walked the grounds and took pictures and looked at the gorgeous view of SanFransico night lights.
The town we were in is called Walnut Creek. They had some really fun shopping malls. So our first night we hung out there, grabbed some PF Changs to go and headed back to the hotel to jump in the hot tub.
The next morning we headed off into SanFransico for the day. We first stopped off to Pier 49. It was chilly and windy but so fun all the same. We ate lunch at Boudin's. Sourdough bread bowls and yummy yummy soups. DELICIOUS! Then we walked the pier some more, walked past some shops, got some mini doughnuts to share (which were sooo yummy) and then we took a little ferry ride out to the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. The boat ride was SO cold. That day right at the bridge is was super foggy and it felt like it was winter. Going around Alcatraz it wasn't all that bad, it sort of warmed up a little. After that we walked up to the Ghirardelli chocolate factory and walked through a couple of times for some free samples. haha They never know who's who in there and if they've seen you before. After that we hopped onto a cable car and I experience riding one of those for the first time. We took that cable to Union Square, did some window shopping there and then took a cable car back and headed back to the hotel for the day.
Day two in SanFransico we first hiked up to Coit Tower where we could see a lot of SanFransico. We took some pics up there and walked around and then took of for Lombard Street. Lombard street was actually really pretty, I didn't quite expect it to be so pretty. There were a lot of pretty flowers and bushes and it just looked awesome. We drove down Lombard street twice cause I loved it so much. After that we took off for The Golden Gate bridge. This day was really clear and really pretty so we had a lot of fun being able actually see everything out there and see the bridge not all covered up by fog. The painted ladies were the last thing to see on my list. These are the houses made famous by the show Full House. One of my favorites growing up. (mostly because there was a little girl named Michelle in it) The houses were really cool though, they were really colorful and just fun. I think it would be neat to live in one. After all that sight seeing we were starving and somehow I talked Rob into eating some Sea Food. So we stopped off at Pier 49 one more time and ate a Bubba Gumps. It wasn't as yummy as we were hoping but it was still fun.
After days of fun in the sun and spending time with one another we had to head back. We made the entire drive in one day. It was a LONG drive, about 12 hours. I stayed awake for all of it except for about the last hour. Good thing we had Sunday to sort of recuperate.
But all costs aside I think that even if it's just a small weekend up in Park City that going on a little get away is essential. That one on one time was so important and just kept that happy wedding glow going. We had a blast and just loved being with each other after having such a long engagement. It was most definitely worth it and I wouldn't have changed one bit of it for the world. To me it's the memories that you make that count.I can't wait for what other adventures we have to come!
