Welcome to the Danger Zone!

It's been awhile since we last posted and a lot has happened (which is why we've been unable to write). I haven't traveled much at all, which has enabled us to do a lot of exploring of the city. Our go to place and top recommendation for anyone visiting is Frascati. It's a quaint little neighborhood restaurant on tree-lined Hyde that has one of the best roasted chicken dishes we've ever had. I'm forced to specify the roasted variety instead of overall chicken, as the fried chicken at Wayfare Tavern is absolutely divine as well. The restaurant was recently opened by Tyler Florence, and Jess got us a table right next to the kitchen. He has a few shows on the Food Network and we always thought his food looked good.



Chicken isn't typically what you get when dining at a restaurant in a big city, but if you have a craving, try one of these places.

Early October is probably the best time of year to visit San Francisco, and nobody knows it better than Uncle Sam. Fleet Week is a fun time when Blue Angels can be seen in the sky, navy ships in the sea, and sailors at the strip clubs. It makes you proud to be an American. Our apartment is located near the water and we have a pretty good view of the Golden Gate bridge all the way to Alcatraz. The air show is on Saturday and Sunday, so we went to some friends' roof for a party on Saturday (dressed up in our best Top Gun gear), and had a little get together with the Obers on Sunday on our own roof. Krissy brought a nice camera and took shots like this one:

One article I read said that they'll get as close as 18 inches from each other, which is pretty amazing considering their speed. We had a great time as they would pass right over our heads, using a nearby building as a reference point. We're hoping to start an annual party for fleet week on our roof. Aviators required.
