Peter's Spring Break Visit, Day Two

Today turned out to be a really beautiful day - no rain, and clear skies. A perfect day to spend outside.

We started our day by having our friends, Armistead and Chris, over for breakfast. Armistead is also originally from North Carolina, and it thought it would be fun to have them over for one of our Big Country Breakfasts of scrambled eggs, bacon, grits and homemade biscuits. We had a ball catching up!

After breakfast, Dick, Peter and I drove across town for a walk. We parked our car by the Marina and took off from there. First stop: the Palace of Fine Arts.


The Palace of Fine Arts

We walked around the Palace of Fine Arts for a while, then walked across the street into Crissy Field. The day was perfect for a walk - sunny, a little chilly, and very clear.

We walked all the way down Crissy Field to one of my favorite spots, The Warming Hut.

We went all the way down to Fort Point, where, incredibly, Dick spotted our friend, Philip! Philip and I had tried to find a time during my visit this week to get together, and our schedules never aligned. Randomly, we ran into each other across town at Port Point, where I haven't been in at least a couple of years! What a wonderful coincidence!


Trina & Philip

Dick, Peter and I continued into Fort Point, and walked up to the top. It is such a neat structure, with gorgeous and and unusual perspective of the bridge.

We walked back to the Warming Hut, had a quick little lunch, then walked all the way back to our car in the Marina. It was roughly a 6 mile walk in total.

After that, a treat was in order! We drove over to Ghiradelli Square, and had some yummy ice cream sundaes!

We drove back across town, and decided to drive up to Twin Peaks. We realized it would probably be our lsat chance during Peter's visit to go up there with a clear view of the City.

We had a nice dinner with Dick's Uncle Edward this evening. Edward hadn't seen Peter in almost 9 years - since our wedding.

I'm grateful that we had a day of sun in SF during Peter's visit. More rain in the forecast tomorrow...
