The Perfect Daddy Daughter Date

What to do for a perfect daddy daughter date:

•Take her somewhere hip like "The cheeseboard" in Berkeley where they serve one kind of pizza a day and play live music during lunch.
•After that take her to get a tasty treat. Gelato will do!
•Next, you go explore cool grocery stores like Trader Joes, Costco and Whole foods.
•Then go up to the Oakland Temple and look at the beautiful view of the city (make sure it is a clear day of course).
•Finally you take lots of pictures together and make jokes.

Thank you dad for the perfect outing! Love you

A little Fresh Air

Alden and I went on a little bike ride on the canal path close to the house. Canals in California are a little bit different than canals in Idaho, they actually have the whole "ditch" cemented out. Maybe that is why its called canal and not a ditch. Nevertheless we had a grand ol time. Got to see the sun go down and take random pictures in shrubbery. Moments that you can't buy, the good stuff.

In other news:

We've been planning everything for our "v-day weekend getaway" and I found the perfect post over at Oh Happy Day full of awesome and great places to eat in SF. Now the trouble will be deciding between them all.

Did you see us on Stephanie Nelson's blog? (NieNie)..... You should check it out. Especially if you are engaged because her and Justin Hackworth are giving away a pretty sweet deal!

Speaking of engagements....Alden and I got engaged a year ago, on a beach. It was magical! Read more about it here on my blog or here where we were featured.

Spring has Sprung

Things are really warming up around here. And I am loving it. It is crazy that living here in the bay area fits me so much more than Hawaii ever did? I know a lot of you will think I am crazy for saying that. Hawaii is a great place to visit but California is a great place to live!

COMING SOON:
Pictures from our bike ride last weekend
