San Francisco

We had three fabulous days in San Francisco at South Beach Yacht Harbor @ Pier 40. There was a walking tour, shopping and lunches out almost every single day. We had a potluck dinner on the dock the very first night and had spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and tiramisu. It was a fabulous meal combined with some good wine and great company. Do you get the feeling that we eat a lot? Okay lots of wine too. Yes we do, but in moderation.

As I was starting this post today hubby got the mail and my Christmas cards that I ordered from Lisa Ceaser @ Lisa Ceaser Photography last week arrived. If you haven't checked out her beautiful photography go HERE and enjoy the great views. Anyway I ordered Christmas cards from her and she added something special with my order. It's a beautiful print of the picture above. Lisa, Hubby and I had dinner in San Francisco last May when she was in San Francisco for some training. Thank you so much Lisa. I remember this shot when you returned home and processed all your shots. (Click on any photograph to biggify.)

On our way to dinner at Delancy Street on Wednesday we saw this aircraft carrier docked right across from Delancy Street. Fleet week is upon us and there was a large military presence. Aren't they so very young? We spent the rest of our time in San Francisco thanking these fine men for their service. They were most appreciative too. God bless them all.

Thursday morning brought with it lots of rain. A downpour and then some. By the afternoon the sun came back out and with it came hours of entertainment watching the Blue Angles practice. It was most delightful. Here's one of many videos that hubby took. Enjoy.
Thursday night only three couples went to dinner. That's what happens when folks go to great places for lunch everyday. We went to MoMos about two blocks away and had a fabulous meal. Again we ran into more military personnel and again we all thanked them for their service.

At 9:00am Friday morning, hubby and I headed back to Antioch while two other boats went back to their perspective marina's and one boat went to Pier 39 for two weeks. The rest of the flotilla headed for Sausalito for the weekend. The water was smooth and we were back at Ebony Boat Club by 2:00pm. Tomorrow is youth day and we've been looking forward to participating. Thanks for riding along on our annual bay cruise.
