...5 years and counting...

On the 4th of November we celebrated our 5 year anniversary. To celebrate we planned a trip to San Francisco this past weekend with some good friends of ours. When Justin & I 1st started dating we went back to PA to watch Steelers play in Pittsburgh, for our 1 year anniversary we drove to Colorado to see the them play so it only seemed customary to see them for our 5 year. So that is what we did, we had great seats, great company and an unforgettable retreat!
Our 1st day in San Fran we adventured out to Union Square, visited a few local pubs and did a little shopping before we met up with Diana and Bill for dinner.
Day 2 we were the common touristy stuff visited Nob Hill, China Town, Little Italy, Coit Tower where we were able to see Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and all of downtown San Fran. We did all of this on foot...more exercise in 1 day then I have endured all year. Needless to say I was a little sore after our 10 hour trek which ended in a 2 hour shopping spree at H&M!!! Oh I was in love!
Day 3 we went to this little coffee shop for breakfast, we sat outside and watched all the people pass by. Down the road a could see this lady walking around looking at each of the parked cars and then she walked in between 2 of the cars and disappeared. I thought nothing of it and continued my breakfast... Well, as we were walked back to the hotel we walk past the parking stall this lady disappeared into and find a little white truck parked with an explosion of diarrhea on the door and running board. I was in shock, disgusted, appalled and a small part of me found it a little funny...WHO does this???? After this we headed to golden gate park, then back to the hotel to prepare for the game.
The game was amazing, its hard to explain the overwhelming feeling you get at a pro football game. From the moment we enter the field and the National Anthem is sung...the players enter the field and it all begins! We had great people that sat behind us at the game, the gentleman that was in front of us I could have done without. Every few minutes he was flipping us off, telling us to F-off. It just wasn't much fun to have to listen to that the entire game. But we didn't let him put a damper in our night, after the game we caught a cab back to our hotel. We had a great taxi driver, we laughed the whole way back to the hotel.
The next morning we caught a flight and headed home. We had a layover in LA and then from there flew to St. George. On our flight from LA we had a couple in front of us that had down syndrome. They had recently gotten engaged, they we were full of life and made us smile and laugh the whole way home.
We had a great trip, really enjoyed San Francisco, enjoyed spending time with one another and look forward to next years Steelers destination...
