Christmas 2007

We were able to spend time with both our families for Christmas this year...we first spent several days in Angleton with the Tiltons, then came back up to Kyle to finish out the holidays with the Whites. Good times were had by all!

All the Whites

(it took several takes to get this one!)

From Mike's Dad...I think Mike wants one in his size...

We did a gingerbread tree this year...

San Francisco

We were able to take a "pre-baby" get away to San Francisco in December. We were there Dec 13-17 and had a blast! We did a good combination of sight seeing as well as just being lazy and enjoying time together. We like to joke that we sort of "ate" our way through the city...making sure we got a taste of the local cuisine in many of the different neighborhoods of the city.





Our hotel was within walking distance of Ghiradelli square and Fisherman's Wharf. Of course this means we visited Ghiradelli several times for hot chocolate and sundaes (hey, the pregnant lady can't enjoy beer and wine, so I might as well eat chocolate!!) and also had crab and a chowder bowl down on the Wharf. Being in California we also made sure to do lunch at In & Out Burger one day (it was Mike's first time to have it!). We also had Italian Food in North Beach, Dim Sum in China Town, and hit up a small cafe for brunch in Haight Ashbury (we were also offered drugs several times in Haight Ashbury which in itself was an experience). We also did some sight seeing--we went out to Alcatraz, walked along Golden Gate Bridge, saw the sea lions on Pier 39, and walked the "crookedest street" on Lombard.





Overall it was a great, much needed trip!
