The Boyd's: 3 Week Vacation--Part 2: San Francisco

This past year has gone by so fast! I can't believe it has already been 1 year! Love you Steven Boyd! We have done so much over the year including: our honeymoon, many trips to Washington/Utah, random trips to Idaho Falls/Yellowstone/Lava Hot Springs, camping/hiking/fishing/swimming, and the list goes on and on....As I am looking back at what we were like 1 year ago we really have grown so much closer to one another and love each other so much. Steve is really a wonderful husband and treats me so well. He will surprise me with flowers, do the dishes, help around the house, etc. I am so grateful we were put together by a friend and everything worked out. I really don't know what I would do without him whether it is with homework, driving steep hills in San Francisco :), cooking, budgeting, he really is the best. I am so glad we made the decision to get sealed for time and all eternity because I want to spend eternity with him. Here are some pictures of us from the past year :)

These are just a few but still so many things! Can't wait to see what we do this coming year!

For our 1st Wedding Anniversary Steve and I decided it would be fun to go to San Francisco because we have never been there before (I went when I was really little but don't remember). It just worked out to have Christmas in Southern California because Steve's step siblings would be at their step dads for Christmas and we wouldn't see them til later.

I love to travel and I really want to go to a new place I've never been every Anniversary. Obviously this year is San Francisco for our 1 year and for our 2 year I want to go on a cruise to the Caribbean. I've never been on a cruise and I've heard so many good things about them. Steve has been on a cruise once to the Caribbean years ago.

Anyways this is what we did on our Anniversary :) Love this city!!

Sorry for the formatting of the pictures again...someday I will figure this out :)

Loved all of these views! There were so many view points and they were all breath taking. It seemed like we were in a different country at some points it was so beautiful! We just kept stopping at all the viewpoints going further and further up on the other side of the bridge and eventually reached the highest point :)

Highest point we got to! So high up!

We ended up walking across the Golden Gate Bridge and back and it was a lot of fun. It ended up being 1 1/2 miles each way roughly! So it surprised us when we found out we walked 3 miles! It was a little windy and cold but worth the experience. At times we saw dolphins jumping in the water in the distance and also Tour Boats crossing under the bridge. It is a long way down if you fall!

Steve and I wanted to eat at a nicer place for our Anniversary so we chose to go to a place called Fog Harbor Fish House :) It was on Pier 39 which was right by Fisherman's Wharf and it was really good. I got really full from the start and ended up having to take home most of my food. I got the Clam Chowder Bowl and Steve got the Garlic Roasted Dungeness Crab! He had so much fun eating it :)

Left: Steve's crab :) It was soo good!

Right: Our waiter gave us a free dessert since it was our Anniversary! We got the Blondie with Ice Cream :)

Left: Steve got me these earrings as a small gift! I told him we weren't doing gifts because our trip was a gift in and of itself..but he said since I lost my other earrings he'd replace them.

Right: He wouldn't let the day end without getting me flowers :) What a sweetie!

Day 2: San Francisco--

Steve and I started out our day by doing sealings in the Oakland Temple :) So beautiful

This is the temple I wanted to get married in since I was young but too bad I live on the other side of the U.S.

We then toured San Francisco more!

Ghiradelli Square :) Even though I don't like chocolate their Peppermint Bark was good :)

This guy spray painted this picture it was so cool!! It was the San Francisco skyline and then the Earth!

Love Boudin's!! Best sourdough bread!
Of course I got the bread bowl with clam chowder :)

Love these different animal shapes they made out of the bread!

Steve and I bought Alcatraz tickets back in August! They sell out really fast and we thought it would be fun to go. It was so much fun! If you don't know what Alcatraz is, look it up :) Here is a picture of the Alcatraz Island!
