San Francisco...

Over Mother's Day weekend I {+ 7 of my fabulous LA friends} went to San Fran for a weekend of rest and relaxation. All of our wonderful hubbies watched our kiddos (we counted 20 kids between the 8 of us). Here's a photographic overview of our memorable 2 1/2 days together.

Flying was even a treat for us, as we each usually have 2 or 3 or 4 kids in tow. It was SO easy getting through security without the little yahoos.

After piling in ONE taxi-cab we got to our hotel at Union Square. Do we look happy to be there??

After chillin in our hotel room for a few minutes we realized we hadn't decided who was going to sleep where so Katie and Ashlee did the honors of drawing names. It was a very big job, and they did it so well.

That night was spent strolling down the streets of San Fran, eating amazing hamburgers, and cuddling up on our feather duvets for a romantic chick flick.
Come on, what did you expect us to go clubbing??

Saturday was busy and we saw a lot. Some highlights for me were a fun and yummy breakfast at this little cafe,

a couple hours at the salon, (I think they were a little overwhelmed by us)

On Sunday half of the party went home but the rest of us walked around the city,

took lots of random pictures,

saw Lombard Street and the amazing view from the top, {see picture at the beginning}

and ended up at the Botanical Gardens at the Golden Gate Park. It was beautiful.

We took pictures, and sat around enjoying the sun and kid-less-ness.

Also, I just have to give a shout-out to this lady who traveled over from London to be with us for the weekend. It wouldn't have been the same without you, Katie.

Love your photography! Looks like you had a wonderful time in San Fran. We're taking another look at your photography website. =) We may be moving back to Salt Lake soon, but we have friends in the LA area who are very interested in scheduling a session.
