Missing the Bay Area!

Having lived in NM for 8 months now, tonight we realized how much we miss living in the Bay Area. Despite the outrageous cost of living, there are so many great things to do and see. Below is just a small sample of what we have been missing including San Francisco and all the wonderful things to do in the city! In addition, there are many things we miss that are not pictured...great friends (you know who you are), a wonderful ward, Suzy Neves' truffles, beautiful green hills in the spring time, trips up north to Windsor, sunsets at Ocean Beach and so much more!
Warm, and cold, days at the beach!
Fisherman's Wharf! That seems like a funny thing to miss but we loved all the crazy people you see down there, the wonderful food, and who doesn't love the "Bush Man?"
IKEA and their delicious soft serve frozen yogurt! I love that store!
Johnny's Doughnuts in Lafayette!
Mountain biking in Redwood Park, the beautiful hills above Oakland!
'Nuff said!
Obviously there are a few things we don't miss. Coin Op laundry, paying $3.50 for a gallon of milk, being stuck in traffic, paying the bridge tolls, and paying to park everywhere, just to name a few! Luckily we get to go back for a visit this summer!

Is it so sad that the Bachelor made me miss the bay area too since we never go anywhere anymore with our brood of 3 children? So sad!

Can you hurry up and come visit? We miss you too!!!

I hear you. We are 2 weeks away from our one year mark, but it still hurts. Rebekah can't stop thinking about it. People say it will get better, but I'm not a believer yet.
