Last weekend, Lauren and I met my mom in San Francisco for the weekend; My mom
attended the annual National School Board Attorneys conference, and invited
us to come along to keep her company. We had a lot of fun, ate some very good food, got in some shopping and sight-seeing, and had a lot of laughs! The first night, we decided to go to a show, and bought tickets to “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?”
starring Kathleen Turner. It was so bad that we left after an hour…couldn’t
bear the idea of staying another two hours. (It was my first time to walk out of a show or movie and, I must say, it was a little bit liberating!)
While we were in San Francisco, my roommate from BYU Heidi drove over from Reno to see us on Friday night. We went to Citizen Cupcake, a satellite bakery to Citizen Cupcake (as seen on the Food Network...c'mon, you all know that I wouldn't go on a trip without doing my research on where to eat while I'm there, right?!) and got some yummy cupcakes for dessert. The next morning, we went to H&M to scope out the new spring collection and then Heid headed back to Reno around noon to stay ahead of the weather. Heid ended up driving close to 8 hours to spend less than 24 hours in San Fran with us--what a doll! Here we are trying on pashminas in Nordstrom.
The other bonus of going to San Francisco was that I got to see Mike's old roommate from BYU and his girlfriend, who both live in the city. Scott and Michelle were so sweet to take us down to Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square for the afternoon and show us around. Here we are with Scott and Michelle at the Boudin Bakery at Fisherman's Wharf. This was followed by delicious sundaes at Ghirardelli Square!
Such a fun weekend! Can't wait to find out where next year's conference will take us...right, Mom?
