When Nick stepped out of the car I commented “Hmmm…you sure look familiar. ” I had met and really like Sarah, but this was the first time I’d met Nick….or so I thought. The conversation went like this:

Me: “Where did you grow up, Nick?

Nick: “Stockton”

Me: “Where’d you go to High School?”

Nick: “Bear Creek”

Me: “Where’d you go to Elementary School?”

Nick: “Wagner-Holt”

Me: “Who was your PE Teacher?”

Nick “Mrs. Ma……”  he stops short and looked at me with a huge smile

“YOU WERE!”

So how cool is that? I used to teach for Lodi Unified School District and Nick was one of my students! Sarah had to listen to us talk school talk and how’s this person,

that person, this teacher retired, etc….but then we took off for San Francisco and had a great day.  Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

Found some cool backdrops

The fog rolled in with a vengeance at Baker Beach

Then we went for dinner at Cha Cha Cha’s and found some fun murals

And Nick and Sarah became artwork themselves!
