so, we enjoyed our time with justin in town from seattle. not that we haven't also enjoyed seeing other out of towners (johnsons, widlunds) or other in towners we haven't seen as frequently (portelas, castros, fosters) or the ones we see often (adam, woodys). we finished our whirlwind Xmas week with two road trips. the first was to bakersfield to meet up with the johnsons. we had some super grub, even if we arrived way late. hey, things happen. but it was good to see scott & malisa, as well as emily, although her appearance for us was brief. just a bit between bath & bed. we also got to see our chums the woody w/little georgia, the ogdens (damn, i should know their child's name, i know we got an announcement and other stuff like that. i admit, my bad) and julie. sadly, no dana. but we did see doug. yep, doug is still as tall as he was, although malisa couldn't believe it.
today, we rolled up to sf to see the deyoung museum. nice drive, went up through gilroy & hit up the outlets. got some new golf shoes (great deal, and i purchased my current pair over 6 yrs ago, they're pretty beat). we then hit the city. the museum was really nice. it's brand spankin new, so i think this may explain the large crowds. it's really big, and lots of nice stuff.
after the museum, we went down haight street and found some nice little place for dinner. we walked around a few streets and headed home.
(for some reason, blogger's not wanting me to upload photos right now. i'll try again tomorrow. the post will be a lot more comprehensive with photos & explanations.)

Adam mentioned you guys went to Haight but not dinner. Where did you end up eating?
All in all, I'm pretty f'n jealous. Museum, Haight, outlets... what's not to love?
bia cafe. mostly organic stuff. really good. and they had this sweet deal: order an appetizer & an entree and you get 3 glasses of wine! guess what i did. but, i shared my wine with justin & adam.
the waitress had never heard of their special, but it was on the board. we felt weird and didn't push it though (we actually ordered 2 appetizers and 3 entrees - heather had a salad and a fruit plate, neither were entrees.)
I'd say it was four appetizers and three entrees of each all together. You had the empanadillas, she had the potatoes, the salad, and the fruit plate.
Technically, we should have had 9 free glasses of wine, but I honestly don't think that's the way the special was meant to be.
ah, but i don't think either the salad or the fruit plate were listed as appetizers. and i'm too lazy to actually ask heather because it would involve raising my voice.
The fruit plate was listed under salads.
Ah, but the special said, that an entree plus an appetizer or salad would get the flight of wine.
oh, i didn't realize it was entree or salad. i thought it was just entree.
let's go back. that lady owes me another glass of water, and owes us 6 more glasses of wine.
