I am skipping ahead on this update a bit, only for the purpose of a blog I am writing at
PeacefulMamma. I will jump back to where we left off in 2008 after this post. These are pictures from our amazing San Francisco honeymoon in September of 2009. We joined our absolute favorite musician, Michael Franti, at his Power To the Peaceful Music Festival. It was a three day festival full of music, yoga, workshops, food, and forums. We were able to see Franti play 3 times and meet him. He signed his childrens book for our son. Here are pics from our entire trip...exploring the city of San Francisco, attending the music festival, Franti's after-party at the famous Fillmore Theatre, and the celebration & global forum at Herbst Theatre with Franti. These are a mix of photos from our point and shoot camera and Drew's DSLR camera. Enjoy the pictures.

Looks like a really great time. You made me miss SF!
The photos are great too. Your husband took some really great shots of you too. Enjoyed the post!
Looks like an amazing trip! I LOVE Michael Franti. We saw him twice at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. He has such amazing energy when he performs!
Your photos are beautiful. I LOVE that city. We spent part of our first married summer there, our first anniversary and will be there again for our third. It's totally romantic.
