Some of the best people around are in Dan's family. We were so lucky to have his siblings and brother-in-law come visit us. We were first greeted by Eric (aka Ricky) the week before memorial day and got to spend some one on one time with him before the others came out. It was so much fun having Ricky around. This picture I think totally describes Ricky....
The poor guy works so hard and never gets enough sleep. Rest up big guy. He also loves the guitar so much he can't sleep without it.
Dan and Eric enjoyed going all around the town together. Eric loved China town because he could talk to everyone there. It was pretty funny having him translate what people were saying. One night we went to one of our favorite restaurants in China town and Ricky became such good friends with the restaurant owner that he ended up giving us someone else's leftovers that they forgot to take with them. I wish you were still here Ricky so we could reap the benefits!!
Don't worry, we didn't really eat the leftovers. Eric gave them to a homeless person on the way home.
After a couple of days we were joined on the weekend by Mia,
David (known as Bruce), Mark
and Mary.
The team explored around on Friday while I was at work.
Sorry Mary, I stole some of these pictures off your blog since I wasn't there to take them myself! :)
Everyone came and met me at work and then we went to lunch together!
Then they went to the MoMa...
Mia was really excited.
So was Mark.
After I finished work, we went to dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaurants called, Piazza Pellagrini.
The men focusing so hard on what to get...
We stopped at Ghirardelli after dinner.
Such good sundaes. Oh man I want one again right now.
The next day we went to the Farmer's Market. Mary was really focused on finding a souvenir.
Zooming into Dan's chest...
We were making fun of Dan because apparently it was a little chilly out.
Guess you had to be there, sorry.
Then Mark, Mary, Bruce, Mia, and I went shopping!
We found this pink jewelry store. I swear it was made for Mia.

We shopped so much we pretty much lost our minds
But Brucy stayed happy as usual!
We were going to go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, but the wait was soooo long and we really started losing our minds even more than before. We were shoved into a palm tree to wait because there were so many people!
So instead we walked home and ordered in Chinese. Yum Yum Hunan!
On to the next day! We pretty much just walked all over town. Here are some pics.
Mary, I think you look like a movie star in this picture.
The Palace of Fine Arts
Stopping to check on little Bruce.
Yup, he is still sleeping!
It was so windy when we were walking at the bay. Sorry for the Frisco wind you guys.
We were pretty tired after walking roughly 5 miles. So we decided to take a bus home.
To sum it all up,
I absolutely loved spending time with David. He is so sweet! I love you Brucy!
And it really was great to have everyone come see us! Thanks to Rob and Laura for tending the kids and making it all happen! I couldn't have picked a better family to marry into. I love you guys and I am proud to be a Chipman!!!
