Sarah and I have both been to San Fran many times so didn't need to do a lot of touristy things. After all my ironman training and recovering from the event I was was happy to just chill out, Sarah's had a busy term at school so felt very much the same way. Things worked out perfectly, we walked across the city and had lunch down on the waterfront with Ben, came back for a team nap (there wasn't a lot of sleep on the overnight flight) and then we all went out for Nick's Tacos (it's good to get decent mexican food finally) and ten pin bowling at the Presidio - a really fun first day of holidays and just what we needed!
Saturday we decided to drive north over the Golden Gate bridge, over Mount Tam, past Stinson Beach into Bolinas to visit Sarah's aunt Mary and Uncle Jack. What a fantastic day, the weather was perfect and the drive was beautiful, then we arrived at the dome house where the garden was in full spring bloom and spent the dya hanging out with Mary, Jack and their sons Joe and Nate as well as Nate's partner Erin and their 6 week old baby boy Atticus!
It was a day of painting Easter eggs, playing a mammoth game of croquet in the garden and a huge delicious Easter lunch, so much fun.
We spent the arvo hanging with B & T before they very sweetly drove us out to the airport for our red-eye overnight flight to New York (stopping for Nick's crispy tacos to eat on the flight). It was so good to spend time with Ben and Terri, what great hosts, and really great to see the family as well, we couldn't believe that it had only been two days into the holiday.
