Hello LJ world! I am alive. I'm finally on the mend from a bad case of sciatica and on top of that, we've been re-doing our office so I've had limited access to the internet for the past month. It's worth it though! The office is great, just needs finishing details :)

So I'm back with a long overdue honeymoon post! We just picked up our professional wedding pictures last night (w000t), but those will take a bit to sort through and upload, so I'm starting with the honeymoon b/c those are ready to go.

After our perfect wedding day, we went and relaxed in the 24-hour hot tub and pool at the Marriott (best idea ever!) and then Sunday we flew to San Fran! Travel as fairly uneventful thank goodness. It was my first time west of Missouri, so I was super psyched! We checked into the Sheraton @ Fisherman's wharf and i was pleasantly surprised to find it was a green hotel. (They had recycle bins in each room and only changed the bedding and towels if you instructed them to.) Plus our room was completely retro decor, so I'd bet some of the furniture were salvages pieces.

That night we had dinner at The Franciscan and I had my first bite of crab. We had a lovely view of Alcatraz from the table!

Monday we walked down to Pier 39 and spotted a baby sea lion!!


Then we took a Bay cruise which was absolutey gorgeous.

After returning to the hotel to change, we hopped on the street car and took it down to Drew's Uncle's Brother's bookshop, The Green Arcade. I was totally a kid in a candy store. Drew had to stop me from buying everything in sight! After having a bit of an adventure finding a place to eat we....

FINALLY SAW WICKED!!! And it was spectacular, truly took my breath away!

Tuesday we went on a trolley tour through the city and actually got to take the trolley over the Golden Gate Bridge! (Check out more pics on flickr.)

As a wedding present, Drew's Aunt gave us a gift certificate to her sister-in-law's restaurant, Da Flora. So Tuesday night we had a romantic dinner there with absolutely exquisite food. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that it is one of if not the top meals I've had in my life (and I've had some damn good meals). They hand write their menu every night based on what they were able to find at the market THAT morning! Simply to die for, I can't recommend it enough. (A HUGE thank you to Aunt Biz & Uncle Mike!)

And that completed our whirlwind tour of San Fran. We can't wait to go back.
