A San Fran Weekend

My bestest friends, Matt and Casey gave me a trip to San Francisco for a three night stay this past weekend.  Let me just say it was AMAZING!  Thank you soooooo much guys! 

We left Thursday mid-day.

Friday!!!!!!!

Alcatraz Cruise:  We just happened to catch the right bus, get off at the right stop…arrive at the right time, and hop on the first bus to Alcatraz at 9 am!  It is said that most of these boats are sold out and hard to get tickets.  Wow we were lucky!

Friday Night, Casey surprised us with Varla Jean Marman tickets.  Louie was brave being the ONLY straight male in the whole place and we laughed the night away…sadly no pictures of this event.

Saturday…Farmers Market, Haight Ashbury, Cable Car Ride, Met up with Brent and Danielle for dinner and another comedy show!

Sunday:  Brent drove us to the Pacific ocean to check out the beach/surfers and a local surf shop.  Then he dropped us off at the Bart Station for our ride home.   (Louie must not have uploaded them yet)  I stole most of these pictures from his camera because I didn’t lug my big camera with me the first day…where most of the pictures were taken.  I am bummed about that…but I did get SOME with my camera….I am sure Louie and I will have repeats on our blogs.  He put every picture up on Facebook if you want to check them all out.

The temperature was warm…high 60’s and perfectly sunny everyday.  Man I miss San Fran!  The only complaint is that everything in the city is very tight and you feel a bit claustrophobic!
