San Francisco

So this last weekend my roommate Julie and I flew to San Francisco for the day. Yes just the day. Kevin, my boyfriend, works for Skywest and was able to get us some buddy passes. When Julie broke up with her boyfriend Kevin asked her if she wanted to go on a trip with me to make it all better. Of Course she and I both said yes.

So Kevin was gone for a week in Disneyland, though I had been invited I couldn't quite fannagel it. So we went to San Francisco instead... great pictures done by Julie on facebook. We left the airport in SLC at noon and were in SF by 1pm. We rode the bus from the airport to downtown. Then walked a few blocks and jumped on a trolley.

The first stop of course was Lombard street. For those of you who do not know what lombard street is... it is the crookedest road in the world I believe. Anyway Julie couldn't stop giggling she thought it was the funniest little road. Julie had never been to SF before. Then because it was all downhill to fisherman's wharf we walked. We ate a scrumptious lunch and walked all around. We saw the sea lions on Pier 39... one was mean and was pushing the others off. Then we walked all the way out to this point which had an amazing view of the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz. It was a beautiful day.

Then we walked up to Fort Mason and sat in the park while Julie looked at cute guys playing sports. Then we went over to Ghiradelli Square and SMELLED the chocolate... it was delicious! Then we walked back down to Fisherman's Wharf. Then caught a cable car back up to the bus stop and got a bus back to the airport.

We made it on to the flight home... because of course when you are flying standby there is always the chance you won't make the flight. But we did. So we are sitting on the plane and they go to turn it on and all the power goes off. This happens several times and then the pilot gets on and states.... "The power keeps going out and so we have a mechanic coming over to look at it" Julie and I think we are hilarious at this point and decide that they just need to bring another plane over with jumper cables. The people around us didn't think we were funny as it continued to get warmer and warmer in the plane without any power. But alas the mechanics fixed whatever the problem was and we did not crash with a power outage.

We got on a plan right before 9pm and we were home around 11pm that night. It was a great little day trip. Thanks to sweet Kevin and his buddy passes. Thanks Julie it was a great day that I will not forget.....especially that building with 60 stories. :)
