A Fast and Furious Yet Fabulous Fourday


I'm all about the alliteration lately! ;)

For President's Day weekend we had two days off, making for a nice four-day weekend, so with the extra days some friends and I decided to road trip up to my home town of Lodi. We spent some time picnicking at the lake, playing games, and watching movies, which was fairly relaxing. Then, on Sunday, we drove into San Francisco for the day. I love that city, and it's so exciting to be in the middle of it. There's so much to do there--too much for one day--but we still accomplished quite a bit. In the morning we attended City Crossroads, a church Jayne worked with over spring break last year that ministers to the homeless in a poor neighborhood on 6th Street. Afterwards, we went shopping in Union Square, then drove down to Fisherman's Wharf, where we got Ghiradelli ice cream sundaes, saw the seal lions, tried on crazy hats, and viewed some Dali and Picasso paintings. When we were hungry enough for dinner, we walked farther into the city for some delicious Thai food. Mmmmm!

Overall it was a great weekend! We also got to celebrate my friend Callan's 22nd birthday.
