San Francisco
January 21-24 Jessica, Stacey, Jenny, Mom and I went to San Francisco! Oh my word…. I LOVED it there. We had an absolute blast. Jessica wanted to do something fun and special for her SPECIAL BIRTHDAY (she turned 24 on the 24th) so we decided to go to San Francisco and see WICKED!
I cannot believe how amazing it was! The play was awesome. I sat through the whole thing with a giant perma-grin and was just so happy to be there. I was so sad when it ended and wanted to go back again the next night. I will for sure need to see the play again. I normally do not love plays, but I really enjoyed this one. I love the soundtrack, and listened to it 5 million times before we went, so it was a lot of fun to finally see the play. Such a great play!
It was so much fun to get away for a weekend. Granted, next time I want to go somewhere warm and sunny! It rained on us the entire weekend. But it was still SO much fun and really the rain didn’t put a damper on things like I was afraid it would. Instead it was just a great weekend with my mom and sisters (minus Stephanie, Amanda, and Ashley… we missed you guys).
We were able to stay in a hotel close to Fisherman’s Wharf. We only had to walk a few blocks to get down there each day. It was fun going to Ghirardelli Square and enjoying chocolate, and to walk down along the water, and to go shopping in the random shops along the wharf area, to enjoy yummy sourdough bread. MMMM…. sourdough bread! It was just a nice, fun relaxing weekend.
We took a couple of random trips driving around random streets in town. Oh my word, the streets were SO fun and so crazy steep! It was funny to drive on them, especially the ones that were so steep we couldn’t see anything when we got to the top! Scary, but so fun. We had a Dodge Charger for a rental car……
I truly HATED this car. It was fast and worked great, but had HORRIBLE turning radius and way bad blind spots. I didn’t enjoy driving this car through the small and steep streets of San Francisco or attempting to park the stupid thing in the tiny parking garage of our hotel. Next time I will for sure choose a different car. Still grateful that we had a car to get us around though.
It was funny and super scary to walk around because they have psychotic birds that would attack! Seriously I almost got hit in the face several times! The birds freaked me out so bad. One time there were several birds around us. I suddenly freaked out and screamed loudly. Everyone just looked at me and I laughed. I totally thought there was a bird on my shoulder cause I saw one of the corner of my eye! Yeah, I am an idiot! ha ha!
We had a great time and I really hope we can do fun things like this again! I vote that we go to New York for my 30th birthday and see plays and enjoy our time together. Start saving your money girls!
