The Kofford Guide to Survival: October 2014

After Muir Woods we went on a drive to see the coast and the Golden Gate Bridge. The coast was amazing. We then went to Ghirardelli Square to have dinner and some ice cream. The ice cream was vile (I know how can you mess up ice cream). We wish someone had warned us to not go there. It was an experience that is for sure.

Oh and I saw this sweet car and needed a picture

Ghirardelli Square... don't recommend it

We ate dinner at "The Pub"

Mini sliders

Eating ice cream at the Ghirardelli shop... we do not recommend it, it was gross and expensive

The ice cream looks better than it is!

Simon and I headed to San Francisco last Friday. It was a trip to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. October 19, 2014 marked 2 years! It is crazy how fast time goes. We headed out of the Provo airport on an Allegiant flight. We loved not having to go to SLC and we hope Allegiant gets more stops to other cities... Boise, Seattle, and Las Vegas would be nice, just saying.

In two years Simon and I have had a crazy amount of stuff going on. I am hoping life will get a little more chill... but I doubt it and don't get my hopes up. I finished my master's degree and he finished his bachelor's. We moved almost 5,000 miles to England and then came back. We looked for and found new jobs. We have been to 12 countries and 5 states. We have had a brother-in-law join the family, a new mom (Simon's dad got remarried a month after us), and 3 nieces be born. Life has certainly had its fair share of ups and downs, but I couldn't imagine a better person I would want to share those ups and downs with. I love my English crumpet! :)

Anyway, back to San Francisco.... we flew in, ate lunch, and walked a mile to get a rental car. If you ever need a rental car and need to drop it off late... this is literally the only place that allows late drop off. They have pretty good prices and we highly recommend them: http://www.cityrentacar.com/. After getting the car we headed to Muir Woods. It is a National Park that has tons of Redwoods and Giant Sequoias! One of my life long bucket list items was to hug a redwood tree... and guess what... crossed it off my list! Ok so maybe I wasn't legally allowed to touch the tree, but I couldn't help myself. We didn't realize they had so many hiking trails there. When we come back we will definitely be spending more time here. Some pictures from the visit:
