Kryssi and I got the chance to go to San Francisco over the last few days, for work. I had a work conference on Saturday as well as just a team meet-up, since we all work remotely. We left the kids with their grandparents and successfully made it on our own. We flew into the Oakland airport and then had to make our way to the San Francisco airport, where there was a shuttle to our hotel. The two airports aren’t that far apart, probably 30 minutes if you drove. But we didn’t want to pay for a cab so we just took the BART (public transit). The flight their took about an 1 hour 30 minutes. Getting to our hotel took about 2 hours 30 minutes. So it was a long day.
It was a lot of fun meeting all my coworkers for the first time. Saturday we all went to a conference that lasted most of the day. Kryssi thought she’d end up just staying at the hotel by herself but some of the significant others of those I work with got together and did some sightseeing. So she got to go do some stuff on Saturday (which was also her birthday) so that was great.
Sunday we went and did some sightseeing on our own. We didn’t have much time, since we had dinner plans with my company that night, so we didn’t get to see a lot. I really wanted to get to the Golden Gate Bridge, but we ran out of time. We went to Pier 39, got to see the sea lions and watched a short show. We then walked up to Fisherman’s Wharf and looked around the shops there (and went to the wax musuem). We also went to Ghirardelli Square and got some chocolate.
We then flew home Monday morning. So it was a short trip but fun (and exhausting). We truly gained an appreciation for where we live, with the ability to drive anywhere we need to go, instead of spending all day on public transit.
What cool photos! Happy Birthday a month late Krissy! I’m going to ask Jas if I can spend my next birthday there.
