The flight was fantastic- I read almost an entire book that I'd been waiting a year to read (Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks). This was my 2nd time flying without the kids since I've had kids. It's a luxury to fly alone! It also doesn't hurt to travel with a "summit level" seasoned air traveler who gets the roomy seats and free tv either.
It was my first time in the city, so Kevin took me around to show me the sights.
We stayed at the Wyndham Parc 55 in Union Square. It was a great location and great hotel right next to the trolley stops and convenient shops and restaurants. These pigeons were always just outside our hotel.
We had passes to ride the trolleys and buses. We did ride them, but sometimes it was hard to find space, so we walked a ton!
The end of the line- they still have to get out and turn it around manually.
Lombard Street- the crookedest street in America?
Ghirardelli Square- Free Chocolate- Mmmm
The Street Performers and such-
- The "Jesus Loves You" guy was just outside our hotel the whole weekend
- The second "Bush" guy hid behind branches and scared people as they walked by (We were told he makes $50,000 a year from this.)
- The last was a performer at Fisherman's Wharf. The boys hate this picture!
A hill we climbed late in the day. If you look closely in the 2nd photo you'll see our reflection waiting for the trolley to help us to the top of that hill!
