Back when Shawn and I met, he used to do a lot of traveling for work. And by a lot, I mean he used to average about a week a month. One of the perks of all this traveling, was that I used to be able to fly out to meet him on his trips. His flight would be paid for, so it was one less cost for us to incur. And with all of his hotel point, rental car points, etc., we usually got a pretty cheap trip out of it.
Since Shawn was one of the more "senior" employees in his group, he got first choice on where he wanted to go. So I remember at the beginning of the year, we'd look at all the trip locations for that year and this year I knew I wanted him to pick San Francisco and Boston.
His San Francisco trip was in May 2006 and the weather couldn't have been better. This trip was our first trip together. It seems so long ago now, but I still remember it being one of my favorite trips we went on.
Shawn's work portion of the trip happened earlier in the week and then I flew out to meet him one night after work. He picked me up from the airport and of course we had to stop and take some pictures by the Golden Gate Bridge.
We went and visited 3 different wineries in Napa the next day (if I'm rembering correctly). We only did a tour at one of them though (Robert Mondavi). The others we just visited the tasting room.
I can't remember the name of this winery. But it was so pretty.
This is Robert Mondavi, where we took the tour. I thought it was really neat learning how they made the wine.
That afternoon we drove back to San Francisco and made another stop for pictures at the Golden Gate Bridge.
The next day we just walked around downtown San Francisco. . .
Checked out Ghirardelli Square. . .
Visited Pier 39. . .
And finished up at my favorite stop. . .Alcatraz Island. I thought this was so neat!
On our last day, as we were heading to the airport, I realized I never saw the "Full House" houses. So we made a quick stop just so I could get a picture.
