ICE CREAM ANYONE?

I was going through the coupons in the Sunday paper today and came across this ad for Baskin Robbins. They are having a special promotion this Wednesday. You can get a scoop of ice cream for only 31 cents. Since this is almost as good as the free pancakes at IHOP, I had to share it.

When I went to their website to get the picture, I saw that it is part of a fundraiser to Fallen Firefighters. Sounds even better!

How can you pass up this deal?

SAN FRANCISCO

Here are some of the highlights from my trip with Monica to San Fran. We spent the first two days by ourselves exploring the city and seeing as much as we could. The last three days of the trip, we had our tour guides Shalou and Eric giving us the insiders view of things. We had a blast the whole time!

Day one: Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, and Alcatraz.

We rode the boat to Alcatraz for the tour. The ride was FREEZING! There's no way I'd consider swimming across the bay.

Day 2: Rode a trolley car and then walked all over the place.

Monica found a prince in Chinatown.

We walked from the top of Coit Tower...

to the top of Lumbard Street.

Day 3:
The Painted Ladies

The Atlantic Ocean

This was Good Friday. We ate dinner at the Last Supper Club.

Day 4:
We visited the Farmer's Market for breakfast and then headed to Napa.

On our fourth trip across the Golden Gate Bridge the weather was finally clear enough for us to actually see the bridge! It really did exist!!!

Day 5:
On our last day, we had a late breakfast and then treked to the top of Bernal Hill. This was in the middle of Shalou and Eric's neighborhood and had some excellent views of the city.
And of the three of us!

And last but not least, we went to the Giants game. It was such a beautiful stadium with the views of the bay. It was a great way to cap off our trip with our friends!

San Francisco

With Matthew being a police officer, people often ask me if I worry about him when he is working. I respond by say no, because I know God is watching over him and that worrying would only make me crazy. Tonight at Bible study, Beth Moore read a verse that I don't remember reading before. It totally described these feelings.

"He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord." Psalm 112:7

What words could be more comforting than that?

I promise to post more from my trip. Until then, take a look at this video and laugh.

We went to the Giants game on Sunday before catching our flight home. This guy was sitting on the end of our row. He danced like this all by himself when ever they played any music.

This was him after he danced. Yes, he is talking into a recorder. We couldn't hear him, but could only imagine that he was making notes on his dance moves and how they went over with the crowd.
This was after the game. If you look closely, you'll notice about 4 disposable cameras by his feet. In his lap is the cassette tape that he his labeling with the date. I guess he does so much dancing like this that he has to keep his notes separate.

He was probably the strangest character we saw in San Francisco, except for our friends on the 49 bus everyday.
