San Francisco here we come

Tomorrow morning we will make our way to San Francisco....I am finally getting excited and looking forward to a break...we are going to see friends for Saturday and Sunday....I think take in a local zoo on Sunday and then head back into San Francisco on Monday morning we will be staying at Fisherman's Wharf on Monday night and hoping to spend the day at the Aquarium and take in Pier 39...I am very excited about visiting Boudin's Bakery and having some fresh hot sour dough bread....we are traveling home Tuesday afternoon so we will have the morning to spend taking in some sights....The puppy is doing wonderful...work is slammed....Dylan is eating more.....lets see I bought some shade perennials for two of the flower beds in the front yard...so we will plant those when we get back....our patio is suppose to be poured while we are gone....we have decided that the old sprinkler system will work with some minor repairs and this will allow us to splurge on a iron fence for the front....I always wanted a iron fence for the front but it was just way to expensive to justify....Collin did a little checking on the Internet and found a iron fence company that was 1/3 of the cost of what I was finding...we received our quote back yesterday and have decided to move forward with it....it will be probably $2000.00 or so more than a wooden fence but we will be saving just around $2000.00 on the sprinkler...so we decided to go for it.....so we still need the fence, outdoor shed, storm windows, planters, shutters, and design and plant 3 more flower beds in front of the home and then well I have to sell more houses if we want anything else...we have been planning and budgeting for the above improvements since we bought the home....I think though after these improvements we will probably call it good for a year or so.....next year we need to invest in another rental property so we won't have any cash for extra home improvements....but that's ok....our home is way livable as it is.....I am glad though that we are getting the yard done so that it will function better for our family and look nicer also.....I think after this spring and summer we will be ready to take a break this winter on home improvements ...well with that until next time
