Weekend in San Francisco

In September, we spent a fun weekend in San Francisco celebrating my Mom's birthday. It was such a treat! For my Mom's birthday dinner, we went to a quaint little Thai restaurant; the food was delicious. Our five-year-old nephew, Alexander, took full advantage of eating at a restaurant in the vicinity of the ocean, and insisted he have crab.

During our little trip, we spent nearly an entire day perusing the shops in Chinatown, (I thought I'd be all Chinatown'd out after Singapore - not the case though) there were so many neat things. We also wandered down to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 where we ate yummy clam chowder and watched the sea lions. We did a little sightseeing and lots of walking, which was fine because we definitely ate to our heart’s content! I loved the trip, it was very fun!

Thailand

I'm finally getting around to posting our pictures from Thailand (this was from our trip in August).

During our trip to Singapore we went to Patong Beach, which is in Phuket, Thailand (it’s only about a two-hour plane ride from Singapore). Although we both would have liked to venture out and see other areas in Thailand, we decided that since it was such a short visit, we'd just enjoy everything in Patong. And there was so much to enjoy! The beaches were beautiful, the food from the little shorefront restaurants was amazing, and the shopping did not disappoint. Definitely a little taste of paradise...someday I hope we'll make it back.
