Frisco Revisited

We kicked off the Kiersty Kat MMA this weekend with a little jaunt to Frisco. We, the directors of MMA, were pretty alcatrazed out, so we tried to mix it up a bit.

Tartine

It is obligatory to start out the day with a trip to my all time favorite bakery. Where you wait in a line, out the door, for 20 mins, and are rewarded with pastry heaven.

SFMOMA

What is this? A pile of garbage? A really creepy statue of Michael Jackson and a monkey? A pile of badly hung Christmas lights? Why no! Its MODERN ART OF COURSE!

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art was actually pretty cool. With the exception of some crazy stuff. Really crazy stuff.... If that hour long video of a man putting his feet on a wall is art, then dude, I should be a modern artist.

The Haight

The ultimate in hipster San Francisconess, we always enjoy a trip to Haight and Ashbury street. Its filled with crazy people, crazy stores (entire stores of apparel to wear to Burning Man), and some cool stuff (I really wanted to buy dresses at a Rock-a-Billy store) mixed in. Kat bought a fetching Russian Fur hat.

Little Star Pizza

Last time we were in Frisco, I really wanted to go to this pizza place I had read about. It was late and Dan and I were both kinda grouchy after a long day of sight seeing. We got to the pizza place and were told it would be a 2.5 hour wait (its pretty hip and popular)! Dan said there was no way in H-E- double hockey sticks he was waiting for pizza for that long. I really wanted it. And began to cry. Which really helped the situation. NOT! Needless to say, didn't get Little Star that night. But finally, today, my pizza dreams came true. It was pretty darn good. But my search for the world's best pizza will continue on...

"Welcome to Gloom Mountain!"

That's what Dan said yesterday as we were driving back into Monterey, as the fog descended on us.
I thought it was pretty funny...

Friday marked Dan's last day of math class! 
In a move totally uncharacteristic of army, they allowed him to to actually use his time productively to take a class at the local college. I was pretty proud of Dan for doing well in his class, we are both pretty sucky at math. We're going to have to adopt an Asian baby so someone in our house can do calculus.

I went for my first long five finger run!
They feel SOOO good. Its like being Pocahantas, running free in the forest to really inspiring background music. You know what doesn't feel good? What happens when you eat a steak quesadilla an hour before running..... Wouldn't recommend that.
Vomiting on  a public running trail = embarrassing.

Saturday we struck out for Oakland with a NEW GPS...

With a quick detour to Red's for some donuts....

Dan were talking and realized it had been way too long since we'd been to the temple. 

Then we realized our recommends were about to expire in August. We made it. On July 31st. It counts.

When I got out my beautiful temple dress that I love, I discovered Monterey had destroyed that too. It molded. Before you think ill of me, everything in Monterey molds, its so damp here! Its not like I'm an unclean person... Most the time. Add mold to the ever growing (haha) list of things about Monterey that displease me.

After our session we went to Berkley, as part of my never ending search for the world's best pizza. Zachary's Chicago Deep Dish was pretty good. Also, Berkley is fun to walk around and see overpriced shops and smart hippies.

I am excited for this coming friday as one KIERSTY KAT is coming to have an MMA. She's the sapphire eyed, creative, well dressed sister I always wanted to be.

See her. Admire her. Envy her beauty. I do....
