Golden Gate Getaway...

Yes, I realize it's been way too long since I've posted. This school year has been crazy, and I'm surprised by how much it has consumed me. Anyways, this post is not about that. This is an EXCITING POST!!! We are going to San Francisco!! We leave the Friday we get out for Thanksgiving break, and fly home on Tuesday. Wednesday morning we will drive to Midland (5 hours!) and stay until Sunday, when we'll drive home. It will be a busy week, but we can't wait!!
Zac has been to San Fran before, but it was for a football game, and he was with an entire team, so he didn't get to experience too much of the city. He has been wanting to take me there since he visited in 2002, and this seemed like the perfect time. We are getting pumped. We booked the air travel last night, and I'll be booking the hotel in the next few days. Woohoo!
Here are a few of the things that we want to do while we are there, but what should we add to this list?
-Ride a street car
-Go to the Golden Gate bridge, and park
-Alcatraz
-Chinatown
-maybe visit the aquarium?
-maybe take an excursion to Napa Valley or Yosemite?

What else? If you've been to San Fran, spill it!!!

Ohhh lucky lucky lucky lucky! I love San Francisco! If you find yourself in Union Square in the morning, I *highly* recommend Sears Fine Food. (it's pretty touristy, but who cares?!) Also, going to see the Painted Ladies is pretty cool. And you have to go to H&M! I'm so jealous!!!!!

If you have time, drive north to Muir Woods and look at the huge redwood trees!

Been to San Fran and the drive to Napa was my favorite thing about the whole trip. It is beautiful! Napa was also amazing. Very relaxing. Only rent a car for the day though, transportation in San Fran is great! Ya'll have fun!
