San Francisco

Our nephew Landon was born about three weeks ago. He is the first grandchild on the Hightower side of the family and we are all so happy that he has finally arrived! So happy, in fact, that we decided to drop everything and go visit him and the new parents, Brandon and Laura. David and I both had business trips last week so we've been all over the country in the last few days. David went to Denver to help with a presentation about his job at BYU. I went to Atlanta for a conference for work. So when we decided to go to San Francisco we planned to leave as soon as I got back from Atlanta. I had enough time to go home and switch out my suitcase and we drove all night. Props to my wonderful husband for taking on the bulk of the driving, he was amazing! Is amazing!

So we got to their house on Friday morning and spent the weekend snuggling that cute baby boy. Holly came with us too so we took her to see some of the touristy stuff. We went shopping, got yummy crepes for lunch one day, went to Pier 39 to see the sea lions and we did end up going to Safeway again for lunch! We went there last time and got a panini and a pizza and they were so good that we had to go back again. We got to go to church with Brandon on Sunday and I found out that two guys from my freshman ward at BYU were in their ward. It's a small world in the church. On Sunday we also went on the roof of the apartment to watch a flight show. They had all these stunt planes flying over the bay. It was pretty cool. San Francisco is really a cool city and we love to go visit there. Thanks to Brandon and Laura for letting us stay with them and keeping us very well fed. It was such a fun trip and we can't wait to go visit again!
