SF by CC

 This past weekend Mark and I rented a Volkswagen CC and took a little road trip to San Francisco! We had a blast! here are some pictures from the trip!

On our way there, we stopped in Sparks, NV for the "Best in the West Rib Fest" This was the original purpose of the trip before we decided to keep going to SF. 

I had to get a picture with the Aussie guys of course!

We tried two different kinds of ribs. these guys were the BEST by far!! Yummy!!

 I also had to get some fried pickles. Unfortunately, they were disgusting and i had to throw them away. I guess Mark will just have to take me to Salt Lake to get the good ones!

 We noticed that most of the people there were quite overweight. probably because they were all consuming these huge plates of potato chips

We didn't try their ribs, but i liked their armadillo grill.

Luckily they had these hand washing stations! we were so messy!!

After lunch, we hopped back in the car and drove another 3.5 hours to San Francisco! Here we are on the Bay Bridge.

We stayed with our friend Dave who lives a block away from AT&T stadium. So we bought some tickets from scalpers and went to the Giants vs. D-Backs game! Unfortunately my D-Backs lost, but it was really fun!

The next morning we got up and went to a farmers market. We tried these Vegan doughnuts which for being Vegan doughnuts were actually pretty tasty!

Then we got in the car and drove to see the Muir Woods!

On our way back we did some sight seeing. unfortunately because of the fog there was not a lot of seeing to do.

We spent the rest of the day at Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, eating a yummy lunch, and going down windy Lombard St.

The next day we got up and drove to San Jose so Mark could show me where he used to live. We had lunch at the restaurant he used to be a server at and then drove up the coast back to SF. 

After a nice nap at Dave's place we drove to Oakland to see the temple.

After the temple we ate some delicious goat-cheese pizza that was to die for!! i want some right now!

We had a great trip! Thanks for being such a great host Dave! we loved your apartment and  you were a fantastic tour guide!

Enterprise Plug

I have now worked for Enterprise rent-a-car for a little over four months. Things have been going great, and I am now at the Salt Lake City airport. The major issue right now in our group (southern Idaho down to St. George) is that we are low on people at many of the locations. So, if you or anyone you know is in need or would like a job in southern Idaho or Utah, let me know. There are opportunities both full and part-time at the airport for anyone interested, and management training positions for those with Bachelor's degrees.

You can get more info here: http://www.erac.com/default.aspx or just call or email me and I can tell you about what I do. I know the recruiter for the group, and she moves those that we refer to the top of the list.

I hope you don't mind my plug, but I have been thinking that someone might appreciate it!

Old News

I semi-recently attended a Harry Potter party. Rita Skeeter, Fluffy, and Dolores Umbridge... you've gotta love 'em.

Hulu Blues

I recently subscribed to Hulu Plus. I have been deeply, DEEPLY disappointed. I have been playing it thru my Xbox 360 and have had nothing but problems. First of all, most of the shows i want to watch are only available online; defeating the entire purpose of paying for Plus. then, when i find a show i can watch it is constantly buffering. THEN, when it actually manages to play for more than 30 seconds,  it randomly skips ahead several minutes. FRUSTRATION. needless to say i have now cancelled  my subscription. Ugh.

Bountiful Baskets

Mark and I got our first Bountiful Basket today! We are so excited about it. This is how it works. You pay $15 and get about $50 worth of fruits and veggies (roughly 50/50). the only catch is that you don't get to pick what you get. But i love it! This is what we got this time:

Spinach

Tomatoes

Mushrooms

Broccoli

Colliflower

Red Pears

Appricots

Plums

Passion Fruit

Bananas

Apples

Pineapple

It took me a good hour to prep/wash/chop everything so it's ready to go for this week!

Thanks for telling us about it Wendy!!! You are the coolest girl in the world! Everybody should check them out and see where the nearest location is to you!

Marky

I love this boy!!
