the last hurrah.

as most of you stalkers know, levi left for a month on the 14th to go be super awesome and do two externships at hospitals in Indiana and North Carolina. it was the great and terrible day we've all been dreading-- and by we, i mean me, because who wants to be alone with children voluntarily for a month? not that i don't love them. side note: single moms/army wives/ anyone who spends a lot of time away from the spouse-- i'm so amazed by you. like seriously impressed. it's hard work man!

sooo the spouse and i took advantage of some amazing babysitters and spent thursday night and friday day together alone. without children. it was glorious. 

we started out thursday celebrating being done with finals/the end of the second year of dental school {whaa?}/father's day by going to seafood. which turned out to be just lobster. i'm not a huge lobster fan, but levi was in heaven and it was his day, so whatevs. i got the lobster corn chowder and that was pretty tasty. 

he was very excited to crack open this big guy. and it was nice to sit alone. and talk to each other since finals is always such a fun time in all of our lives. boo to school. yeah to only one more year! 

after that we just went to the movies, one of our favorite past times, especially since we don't get to do it very frequently anymore. we saw now you see me, which was actually very interesting. the ending wasn't my fav, but it kept you guessing. 

friday, we decided to check off things on the bucket list we didn't care if the kids did with us. so we started at coit tower, which is basically a lighthouse on land. it was interesting. only downside is that there is glass on all the windows at the top so it's hard to take pictures with the city in the back. 

levi shaved his beard off so he didn't have to bring his clippers to his externship and it's blowing my mind. i didn't realize how much i liked the beard until it was gone. something sexy about good facial hair. raaawr. 

 it's a pretty amazing view from the top on a sunny day. i don't know if i would pay to go up to the top again, but you know. you gotta do touristy things at least once. =) 

next we went to lunch at ghirardelli square, one of my favs. we had lunch at the diner there, and then stopped by for ice cream for dessert. nothing like not having to share/wipe dirty hands when you're eating delicious things. nom nom nom. 

ever since we moved here, levi has been dying to drive down lombard street. dying i tell you. every time we go in to the city, the line to go down it is horrific so i say no. but it was perfect that day. and because i'm an amazing photographer, i got some pretty good ones while riding on the back of a bike. it's pretty cool, i would hate to live there though. how annoying to have to wait to drive down a curvy road with tons of tourists. 

 i had a fabulous time hanging out with my spouse before he left. i miss that. someday we'll be able to go on dates whenever we want. and some other he'll come home from being gone forever!! we're surviving, but miss our favorite dad/lover.
