Last week, one of my best friends, Nicole, and I took a girls trip to San Francisco. We left on Saturday morning and arrived early that afternoon. We stayed with Nicole's old college roommate (Shauna) for the first two nights of our stay. On Saturday night, we went to a restaurant called Zuni, where Shauna's good friend is a pastry chef. She hooked us up with some desserts that were delicious! After dinner, we went to a little wine bar to hang out and chat. Sunday, Shauna took us to Union Street where we did what Nicole and I do best...SHOP! We both got a cute pair of boots and got a little bit of christmas shopping done as well.
The next day, we packed up all our stuff and moved across town to my cousin Carly's dorm at University of San Francisco, where we stayed for the next two nights. Our first stop with her was Haight and Ashbury where we had breakfast at a cute little cafe. Later that day, we did some more shopping down at Union Square. It definitely felt like Christmas since there were so many people out and all the pretty christmas decorations were up. That night we found a cozy little Thai restaurant to have dinner and the food was amazing! On Tuesday, we took the ferry to Sausalito - a cute little town across the Golden Gate Bridge. We walked around and did even more christmas shopping. (As you can tell, the overall theme of this trip was shopping and eating!) We ate at a restaurant right on the water where you could see all of San Francisco. We watched the sunset and the view was incredible! When we got back to Carly's dorm, we cuddled up and watched a movie, another one of our favorite things to do. It was definitely an experience for Nicole and I to be staying in a dorm since neither of us lived in the dorms when we were at UCSB. It was weird having to use a key to go to the bathroom and having to wear flip flops in the showers.
All in all, the trip was just what Nicole and I needed - to get away from everything for a few days and de-stress! These last few months have been difficult for us - My grandfather and close friend both passed away and Nicole's grandfather passed away as well. Hopefully 2010 will be a better year for both of us.
Nic - Thanks for being my travel buddy...we always have the best time together and I cherish each and every minute of it! I can't wait until our next girls trip together. xoxo
