Labor Day Weekend and Beyond!

Labor Day weekend was good.  It snuck up on us, which was better...we saw Hamlet 2.  Anyone else see it?  It's pretty funny.

And because it was such a gorgeous weekend, we did our first bike around the city together.  We went down by the water, past AT&T Park, flew by the Ferry Building, Embarcadero, the Fisherman's Wharf, and finally landed in Ghirardelli Square for a cupcake.  It was a fantastic way to see the city.  

Monday, we went back to Muir Woods, but more to hike it (and less to stand and stare up at Redwoods).  
We were out and about the woods for about 3 hours or so.  It was nice to get away from the touristy crowds, and explore the trails in peace.

Alas, that's about all we've been up to, other than the incessant brunches.  We did try a new notable place this weekend, Universal Cafe.  Also tried Stacks, but it wasn't as notable.  If nothing else, we sure do eat out a lot (especially for brunch on the weekends).

Saturday night was also self-proclaimed German night--we ate lots of schnitzel, spaetzle, and had large delicious German beers.  Wunderbar!  And Ian has been working hard (nightly) to perfect his s'mores made right in the kitchen technique.

We have a lot coming up: our 2nd anniversary is Wednesday, and this weekend we're celebrating by taking a trip to Yosemite.  Then, we're both going to Seattle next week--me, for work.  Ian, piggybacking off my trip and checking out the city.  The following week I'm off to Toronto for work. 

Exciting times ahead!

If I were a camera, my name would be Percival.
