~Too good to be true ~

Yesterday Rudy and I decide to go to San Francisco for the day. So I drive there in Kermie. It was AWESOME! San Francisco is just beautiful, and the weather was gorgeous. It was only 79 in SF while it was like 101 in Sacramento. I felt all accomplished because 1. I drove for 2 hours on the freeway 2. I handled San Francisco traffic and 3. I went over 2 bridges with my eyes open!! Hey sisser hear that EYES OPEN! I was so scared! It was so crowded there we have never really gone on a weekend so we've never seen it packed as it was. We walked along Pier 39, then over to the Port of San Francisco for the Farmers Market. After all that I was hungry, but the chowder in SF isn't as good as in Monterey, so I didn't want that. I wanted real food. We look at the menus on Pier 39, nothing really strikes our fancy plus they are packed! So we walk down to Fisherman's Wharf to do a little shopping and get some LUNCH! We stop at No.9 Fisherman's Grotto to look over the menu and it's expensive and Rudy asks do I want to eat here? I just point at the prices and he says "come on we never eat like this when come here" So upstairs we go. We are seated at the window with view of the Bay and the shops and have a wonderful lunch. Oysters on the half shell for an appetizer, I had 2. They were really fresh and I put enough lemon and tabasco sauce so I didn't taste anything really bad. Rudy had braised salmon w/ creamed tartar sauce, I had a seafood combo that had scallops, crab leg meat, prawns, and calimari pan fried in a white wine sauce. It was AMAZING!!! Everything was so good. Rudy hardly winced when he got the bill. Atleast it was under $100 not much under but still under. After that we went to The Rainforest Cafe not to eat but to buy coffee mugs, they have the best coffee mugs there. We also bought some coffee beans on the Pier. Hawaiian Chocolate Macadamia Nut coffee. Yum, the real reason we went to SF. We were out of coffee. Hehehehe, and that completes our day in SF. I drive home...

Sounds like a great day huh? And with the week I had I needed a nice day off and away from everything. It sounded so easy right? With all the work Rudy did on my car, he is My Mechanic. Everything should run smooth. Is that too much to ask for? Well the answer to that is ... YES!!!! My car is broken AGAIN! Can I please have 2 weeks with this thing running? It's the oil pump this time. Needs replacing... Go Honey! Sorry baby, and Thank you!
