San Fransisco...

The day after Thanksgiving my Mother-in-Law, Charla, and I drove to San Fransisco to meet Elyse for a mini vacation. After traveling through an insane amount of traffic (it took us a little over an hour to go 6 tenths of a mile) we finally arrived at one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever been in. The Saint Francis Weston Inn is one of the historical buildings in the heart of downtown, just across from Union Square. Although when I was walking through the hallways, I couldn't help but feel like the hotel was haunted.
Our first night there we were going to a Symphony and dinner. That night while getting ready we watched the tree lighting in Union Square from our hotel room. Four women in one room with one bathroom, it is a miracle we were all able to look as hot as we did let alone just get ready. The symphony was an interesting experience. I could appreciate the passion and discipline that the musicians displayed, however it was a bit too long! Zzzzzzzzzzzz... After the symphony we went to the Cheesecake Factory on top of Macy's, yum!! Then went back to the room for some much needed rest. Charla and I barely slept because of all of the snoring from the next door bed ;o}
Saturday I woke up at 7:30 and started to get ready to go shopping. Dorothy, Charla, and I were all ready to go at about 9:00, but had to wait for Elyse to get her lazy but out of bed and get get ready! So we ended up leaving the room at 10:15. Had breakfast at The Sears and headed of to the stores. I bought make up at MAC, face care stuff from the Body Shop, and a sweater, a bra and undie set from Victoria's Secret and three shirts from the Gap. After all of our shopping we went to the Orpheum Theatre for the Phantom of the Opera(it was a awesome musical), and back to the Cheesecake Factory.
Sunday we had to get Elyse off the airport and headed home. Before we left we went to Borders, and Fisherman's Wharf. We walked through some of the neat shops there and had lunch. We did not even leave San Fransisco until 4:00, wow time had flown by.
I had a wonderful time and was glad I went...
