The real San Francisco treat.....

Every year me and my best friends from Ann Arbor get together for our girls weekend retreat. We now all live throughout the US and so each year we take turns hosting. This year we visited Ronna in San Francisco! It was my first time as an adult visiting the bay area but I tell you..... I fell in love! I think it is the most gorgeous of all the big cities. Too bad it is SO dang expensive to live there. Oh, well.....we can always come visit right Ronna?


Ronna, Cheri & I pose in front of Lombard Street. The most crooked street EVER.


Katie, Ronna, Caitlynn, Cheri, Benjamin & me... in the first holding cell in Alcatraz.

Alcatraz. Despite the fact that it was a US penitentiary for some of the most notorious criminals such as Al Capone and many of his gangster friends.....the island itself was gorgeous. Gardens and wildlife galore.

Touching star fish, sea urchins and other un-identified sea objects.


Cheri in front of one of the massively beautiful redwoods....in Muir Woods.


The golden gate bridge and me.


Bring on the San Francisco food baby! We tried it all....from fancy seafood, chowder on the pier, and sandwiches on classic San Francisco Sourdough. This was a place called Lucca's. The sandwiches were some of the tastiest ever.....people will sit on dirt to eat them. Yum!

Can I just say how much I love these ladies!? Well I do. A LOT!! Until next year girls! What happens in San Francisco stays there right?
