A Bit of San Fran

As I was out mucking the stalls this morning I had time to reflect back on our "Grandmas Gone Wild" weekend, as much fun as the trip was, it was not the trip that warms my heart - it is my friendships. Having such wonderful friends for over 17 years is so amazing to me. To be able to go through the good, the bad and the ugly times of life means so much more with these close friends by my side. I am so very blessed to have these ladies in my life, ones that accept me for me, love me inspite of my short comings, tell me the truth (even if it hurts), and ones I can count on for anything and everything. Thank you, girls, for such a great weekend and an extrodinary 17 years of friendship!

Down below are just a couple of pics from the trip - I will let the other ladies post more pics and tell of our wonderful journeys! :)


The view at night from Alcatraz was truly amazing. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to live there knowing that a beautiful city was just across the bay and all you could do was see it. The audio tour is wonderful and if you ever have a chance to take it, I would highly recommend it; but beware, the boat ride over is COLD and windy!



The Golden Gate Bridge is truly amazing. They paint the bridge every day and it takes over a year to completely paint it. Then when they are done, they start over.

There are sufers in the water - not sure if you can see them - of course they are wearing wet suits - it is COLD there!
