San Francisco--Part 3

I couldn't do these bookbinding trips without the support of Jeremy.  He encourages me to leave him alone with the kids for long weekends three or four times a year.  He is almost as excited for me as I am to take my classes.  He takes fabulous care of the kids.  This time he was going to take them on a very short backpacking trip for the weekend, but he was sick.  And he didn't complain once about being sick and having to take care of the kids.  Finally, he had the house nice a clean when I came home.  I am one lucky girl, indeed!  Thanks, Jeremy!  I love you!

And now to end this San Francisco series, here are a few of the straggler photos from the trip.  

Not the prettiest building in The City but it's my first destination after leaving the airport--the PG&E building on Beale Street.

 

In the plaza outside of my dad's building are ginko trees.  I love the shape of the leaves!

Lines of motorcycle parking are everywhere.

The Federal Reserve building along market street.  

My favorite used book store in Berkeley.  Shakespear & Company, named after the famous bookstore in Paris that was a favorite hangout of Hemingway, Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald and other members of the Lost Generation.  I haven't been there for years, though it used to be a must see whenever I returned to the Bay Area.  I bought The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway.

It is awesome that you two are in a place in life that allows for these getaways and the support to do them! Supporting and getting support from your spouse in hobbies is priceless.

I love all the pictures you have shared :)

Awe, Jer is so nice to let you get away. :) I actually love the pic with the motorcycles lined up. I've always wanted one, but I'm afraid I can't hold it up if I were to drive one. LOL The Ginko tress are way cool too. i wouldn't mind raking those up a few times.
