Happy 4th!


We love fireworks! Last night Ryan and I braved the traffic (not to mention parking!!) and headed into San Fran for fireworks over the bay. We walked around Pier 39 and then over to Ghiradelli Square, where we found a little piece of grass among the crowds and sat down for the show. We had the best night! We met up for a little while with a couple of Ryan's intern friends, but mostly we just wondered around remembering everything we did there on our honeymoon! To us, downtown San Francisco on the 4th of July was Times Square on New Year's Eve. It was full of people, performers, music, and energy!




Toward the end of the fireworks show we booked it up to Ghiradelli and were first in line for some delicious hot chocolate (though Hatch's in Salt Lake beats even Ghiradelli for the world's best hot chocolate, FYI), right before the restaurant filled with people!

What a great holiday.

  1. Yay! We had a bi-coastal metropolitan 4th of July. Boston was amazing as I'm sure SF was too. Sometimes it's nice to be out in the crowds with people. You're lucky it didn't rain! (Boo. It was 55 and freezing for us!!!)

    Yall look adorable as always!

  2. Happy 4th! You and Ryan are really just the cutest couple ever. I love that picture of you two!

    I need to get over to Hatch's sometime and try this amazing hot chocolate!

    We all missed you here in Utah and wished you could have been with us.

    I love you!

  4. Search "free photoshop actions" in google. The one called Softly is by Gavin somebody and it comes in a set with two others for free. They're really easy to load and use so call me once you've found it and I'll walk you through it.
