11PM Meet Enzo, the cutest dog, a whippet
Once again amazed by Carmen's cute house
Saturday
Sleep in till 9AM - glorious
10:45AM Breakfast at a local joint near Carmen & Dan's house in their Mission Neighborhood
12:30PM Visit local Farmer's Market and buy honey
1PM go back to Carmen's place so they can walk their dog
1:20PM Watch Carmen dance to the Muppet Show Theme Song - funny
1:45PM Take silly pictures of all of us wearing mustaches
2:00PM Take off to a food market on the Bay and look at all the pretty stalls. Taste test chocolates, grab coffee, etc
3:45PM Sit down to fresh oysters and champaign. Watch my hubby eat oysters.
5:10PM Try and find GNC so Carmen can buy some GU. We make it to two different stores right when both are closing.
6:30PM Visit biggest Anthropology store in the world -ok the biggest one I have ever been to. Try to find sale stuff but only find stuff that is not on sale. I don't buy anything. Carmen buys pants.
7:00PM Take Bart back to Carmen's house and take a nice long nap. Listen to her French lessons.
9:45Pm Leave Carmen's house and have pre-dinner mohito's at the Lone Palm because Barretta's is too packed.
10:30PM Have dinner at Barretta, only the most delicous place in SF yet. We ordered two pizza's, a yummy salad and rosoto. We sat at a communal style table with other 30 something SF yuppies. Their drink menu was to die for with homemade drinks. The amish bartender was funny to watch. He really got into making drinks.
12:15PM Go home and go to bed
Sunday
Sleep in till 9:10AM - glorious yet again!
9:15 AM Hubby and me take the fastest showers known to mankind because Carmen said we had to leave the house at 9:40AM to make dim sum.
9:40AM leave house to go to Dim Sum
10AM Arrive at Dim Sum and Carmen is worried we were too late because she got the time wrong by an hour. But we were ok
10:05AM Had fun picking out strange and fun things from passing carts. Had my favorite "boobies."
11:00AM Go to the biggest and neatest atheletic store known to mankind and Carmen finally finds her GU which she needs for her 8 mile run (some jelly stuff runners eat to give them energy - though Carmen hasn't found a flavor she enjoys). Hubby buys a pair of "Simple" shoes for $30 bucks. It's a bargin cuz they are normally more. We love these recyclable shoes.
12:00PM Then go to a really cool outdoor place and see suckulent artwork. Eat really yummy peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. Carmen buys two new house plants for her "pulley" style planters.
12:45PM go home for a nap and dog walking
1:30PM Hubby and I leave Carmen and Dan and go shopping at Union Square. Run into my co-worker on the street. Weird.
6:00PM Come home to Carmen and Dan's house and it smells like cinnamon (Dan had made some glazed pecans for part of the homemade Chinese meal they cooked for us). It was delicious!!
7pm Nap and listen to French Lessons. We learn to say "I have many diesases" in French.
9PM Go to local bar and play the "boobie" game for a buck. Imagine a machine that has nudie pictures and you have to figure out which 5 things they altered in the before and after pictures. It is way awesome.
11PM Come back home early cuz Carmen has to get up early to run and eat GU. We fall asleep instantly but not before watching a show on Belgium cuz Carmen and Dan are going on a European tour this fall (France, Belgium and Italy - hence the French Lessons).
Monday
6AM Time Carmen gets up to do her 8 mile run. She eats lots of GU.
10AM Time the hubby and I slept in till
10:30AM Dan makes us breakfast. We eat waffles and crunchy yummy pecans and strawberries
11:30AM Take Enzo to Funstom Beach. Watch Enzo and a million other dogs play on the beach. Watch people get wet cause they don't understand how the tide works. Enzo is thirsty and I point out a watering hole that other dogs are drinking from. Carmen tells me that she doesn't let Enzo drink from the water hole because of diseases. I tell all the doggies (in French) that those bowls with water "hasve many diseases" Yeah, the phrase came in handy (and not in a sexual way).
1:00PM find lunch at a Philly Cheesesteak shop. They fly in bread from Philly. It was such a good meal!
1-5PM shop in Mission District. My favorite is the Pirate shop that sells nothing but pirate things and this other shop that sells everything from tea to dead stuffed animals to plants. Definitely cool yet unique shops.
5-6PM go back to Carmen's, pack up and watch So You Think You Can Dance
6PM Take Bart to Airport
7:30PM Go through security check point and the Honey doesn't make it through. I have to check my bags.
7:45Pm Go through security check point yet again minus the honey
8:35PM Take SouthWest back home to Burbank
Good Trip!

Had a great time with you guys too. I wished that we we lived closer. Think of all the "boobie games" we can over take!
See you soon!
