My little sister, Emma, came to visit us for Thanksgiving. It was so wonderful to have her here with us celebrating the holiday weekend. It brightened my spirits up having a family member here. Plus we were able to show her around SF since she has never been here. And she was happy to be here because she was able to eat at
Chipotle twice. Here she is texting someone while viewing the Golden Gate Bridge.
Thanksgiving day after the delicious feast we took a well deserved nap and then a drive to
Mt Diablo. It was breath taking to drive up the mountain while the sun was setting and taking in the views of the valley from on top.
On Friday, I had to work a few hours in the morning while the Market was open but then was able to meet up with Romulo and Emma in downtown SF. They saw Union Square all decorated and festive. Plus, all the crazy BLACK FRIDAY shoppers. We stayed clear from that. But we were able to see the Financial District (nobody was there which was nice), Pier 39,
Coit Tower, Lombard Street,
Ghiradelli Square, and China Town. We ate some DimSum in China Town and had some ice cream at Ghiradelli Square. We wanted to stick around for the Christmas Tree lighting at Union Square but after walking around the city for 7 hours we called it quits and it was a good thing because when we were leaving town there was a huge line of cars trying to get into the city.
Saturday, we adventured some more in SF. This time around when we visited the Golden Gate Bridge we viewed it from
Fort Point. That night we came back closer to us and ate outside at Cheesecake Factory. The weather all weekend was gorgeous; mid to high 60s. At one point it was 73 degrees. I'm still amazed by the weather in the Winter.
