Sorry I have been gone so long

I haven't posted since yesterday and I apologize to the faithful followers.

Just a quick update...after a great dinner at Hurley's in Yountville we hung out at Luca with some of the Hotel folk. There was a local couple and two friends from Vancouver Island in Canada. We shared stories and some drinks by the outdoor fire. Cool night. I had kinda hoped for more hotel commoradie on the trip--you know like camp or something? This was our only dose and still very enjoyable.

We left Napa early this morning and started the drive to San Francisco. We took the least direct route opting to stop for some photos of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz. We then drove to the Hilton Union Square where we parked the car and did some touristy things around the area (City Lights Bookstore, Union Square shops, the Castro). We decided to have lunch some where in the Castro with our "family". There were plenty options - Catch (seafood) and The Sausage Factory (Italian) but we opted for Squat and Gobble (Sandwiches). Now for those of you who read that and think dirty thoughts, how dare you?!? I was just literally telling you our lunch options. Now if I told you the name of the nail salon/spa we saw, you could rightfully be offended.

Needless to type, we are both exhausted. It has been a great week but we are ready to get home, see Cody and head back into our routine. We rested a little this afternoon but headed out to Chinatown to look for Alcatraz for nieces. Ha.

Went to the gym (seriously yesterday I had huevos rancheros, In and Out, 5 Wine tastings, several glasses of wine, an appetizer pizza, blue cheese salad, Risotto...with healthy spring vegetables).

Headed out to Absinthe for dinner now and maybe back to the Castro to see the "family" again. Can anyone say "Truck"? They aren't requiring a password tonight but its still worth the show.

Until tomorrow where I will make sure you all get a great wrap up from the trip. I also will make a decision regarding my blog retirement. Stand by.
