Summer 2k10 Plans

This summer, J.D. and I already have some travel plans in the works.

As I've already blogged, we're going to be spending one week in June in the midwest for my first time on a trip that promises to be jam-packed with baseball at all levels: professional, minor leagues and college playoffs.

Then on the 4th of July weekend, there will be a CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) Convention in San Francisco. Since J.D.'s a member, he'll be making the trip an hour west and I figured I'd come along for the ride :) We haven't really decided if we're going to stay in a hotel in SF (for the second time this year), or maybe just stay at my parents' house for the weekend and hang out in the East Bay as well as San Francisco.

And finally, I still have an itch for a beach weekend somewhere! San Diego, Orange County... who knows! Maybe we could find a dog-friendly hotel and bring little Woody along with us :)

But I haven't mentioned this yet. Our women's soccer team starts the year out in Hawaii this August. But a week before that, they're taking a trip to COSTA RICA! Which is one of the top 10 places I want to see in my life!! So if I am comfortable with shelling out the money.... I, too, could be on that trip. I'm too afraid to commit to spending that right now, but we'll see I guess.


As for next year, I think we're informally planning a big trip somewhere. Last summer both of us really wanted to go to Belize. Now I'm entertaining him with ideas of going to Sweden - homeland of his family! But above all, I really want to go on a tropical cruise somewhere :)

San Francisco Trip!

I'm going to keep this short on words and let the photos do the talking. So here are some highlights of our Valentine's Day/Presidents'Day weekend trip to San Francisco!

Included in our trip were the SF Exploratorium (like a please touch museum), wine/chocolate tasting near Haight and Ashbury (birth of the Grateful Dead and hippie rock), complimentary wine tasting hour at the hotel, Valentine's Day three course prix fixe dinner which included champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries, Alcatraz and an awesome assorted shellfish lunch at Pier 39 and strolls around Fisherman's Wharf. All-in-all, a really amazing weekend! Too bad my weekends are going to be jam-packed from here until Memorial Day weekend :-\
