More surprises for Rob

I had another surprise that Rob didn't know about. I am happy to say that I truly surprised him this year. Wooo Hooo! So we went to Universal on his actual birthday and then the next day was the graduation. We hung out with robs family most of the day and then bunnie had dinner over at her house. My niece Robyn had agreed earlier that she would keep my kids so she slyly asked rob if she could just have the kids over so she could spend time with him. He bought it and agreed. Then we all decided to go down to the beach and see this photography exhibit called Illume. It was getting late at this point and I was trying not to blow the surprise so I went along. We were staying at our friends spence house and it was a good drive away. I was thinking to myself Oh my heck we have to be up so early tomorrow but kept on. So we got home after midnight and had to be back up at 4am. I got rob up and told him lets go I have a surprise for you. We packed all of our things up and I had already packed an overnight bag for us. We got in the car and left. I finally had to tell him on the way to the airport that I was flying us to San Francsco overnight. So we arrived at 8:30 am and took the bart. What an experience!
I felt like a fish out of water in this huge city. The bart was too cool! Then we went and checked in to our hotel. We stayed at the Westin St. Francis. It was very very nice. Once we checked in we were off down to Fisherman's warf so we could go on the tour of Alcatraz. Alcatraz was really neat. We had a good time there! We went to dinner at a place called the Stinking Rose. It specializes in garlic. It was so good. I like garlic alright, but Rob LOVES garlic so that is why I chose it. Rob smelled like garlic for days!
The next day we day we walked around. Again I was amazed at the buildings. I think this is the first big city that I had been too. It was so cool! I would just stand and stare, people must have thought I was crazy. We went to China town, shopping, North beach (little Italy). We just had the best time spending time with each other and not having to worry about the kids. It was a really quick trip and we were exhasted, but soooo worth it. The best part was that is really didn't cost too much!
