Girls' Trip to San Francisco

Over Mother's Day weekend, my neighborhood girlfriends and I all went to San Francisco on a girls only trip! Our husbands kindly watched our kiddos from Thursday to Sunday...and we had a blast!! I've been there several times, once when I was younger with my cousin and then the rest of the times for work...but this time was so enjoyable being non-work related!

Eating and shopping in Union Square

On our trolley ride...so "touristy", but hey, we had to do it! So much fun.

View from the front of our trolley. Didn't remember how fast these things go downhill!

Ghirardelli Square

Visiting Fisherman's Wharf and eating at a fabulous seafood restaurant there!

On the ferry boat to our Alcatraz night tour.

Alcatraz...what a great tour about its history. It was soooo cold when the sun went down!

Wearing fancy headsets...in front of one of the cells.

So after we got off the ferry onto dry land in San Fran, we had a hard time hailing a cab to get back to our hotel in Union Square. All of the sudden, a limo pulls up and the driver asked if we wanted a ride. It was so funny...we were so "prommed out" with the ceiling stars, etc...minus the prom dresses and hair sprayed hair and ugly corsages. I mean, if we knew we were going to ride around town in a limo, we may have gotten a little more dressed up, right?

xoxoxo!

Lombard Street...what a great workout!

We spent a day in Napa, Sanoma, Salsalito and hiked through Muir Woods. Here is Mondavi Winery. The tour was excellent!!

At V. Sattui Winery. It was amazingly beautiful. We could pick our own ingredients for a picnic lunch and then we did a wine tasting.
