Down by the Bay...

Last weekend I made my first trip to San Francisco! I went out there to visit my best friend and Coree. We were roommates for all 4 years of college and now we live 1600 miles apart! It was so nice to have some girl time to ourselves to catch up and explore the city. On Friday we went and saw Wicked, which was amazing! So many sights and sounds it's hard to take it all in. It's almost overwhelming, and that's what I love about it! Unfortunately the don't let you take pictures...ugh...so frustrating...

On Saturday we spent the day walking around the city. We started off at the local farmers market where the air was saturated with the smell of fresh flowers and produce. We found a little pastry shop and indulged in several of them :) Next was a wine bar! I love wine, and drinking it at noon with your best friend is definitely the way to go...

Then we walked down to Pier 39 where we saw Sea Lions and a whole fleet of sailboats. Along the way we found wine bar #2... don't judge... this time we drank Sangria! About that time we saw this amazing thing called the "Rocket Boat" that basically takes you out on the bay and whirls you around at 45 mph. We thought it looked like a good idea... so much for our hair the rest of the day!! We were freezing from the wind and water after our boat ride so we found a restaurant with an outside patio and fireplace!

After some time well spent sitting around the fire, we decided to drive around the city some so I could see some of the buildings and architecture. We even drove down "the most crooked street in America". It was nuts! I can't believe people actually live on this street! After that, we headed back to Walnut creek where we went out for the evening with one of Coree's new California friends...

It was an awesome trip, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Now it's Coree's turn to come to Oklahoma!!
