Aaron and I decided this year for Christmas we wanted a get-away with just the two of us. The place? 4 fun-filled days in San Francisco. We had so much fun together. For four days it was a non-stop sight-seeing, picture taking, eating, football cheering, trolley riding, shopping, fun time. The first night in San Francisco we bought tickets to see "Wicked" for the second time. I absolutely love this play and could see it again and again - well, I guess this year we actually did! But it was fabulous! We also got to go to a 49ers game while we were there. That was a blast. We boarded the Candlestick express bus and off we went. The bus was packed full of 49ers fans- I mean standing room only. On the way to Candlestick Park, the bus stopped suddenly and I, in my panic, grabbed the thigh of the teenage boy sitting next to me and squeezed for quite some time until my mind caught up with my actions and I realized what I was doing. I was soooo embarrassed and I think he was too. I told Aaron what I did and we couldn't stop laughing - I think Aaron was a little jealous! The game was so much fun. Nothing like 49er fans. We had fun high-fiving the fans around us and watching the team win the Arizona Cardinals 24-3. Go 9ers!
The rest of the time was spent catching trolley's to take us around town. We went to Pier 39 and walked through the shops, ate lots of yummy seafood - clam chowder in a soup bowl - YUMMY! and watched the Sea lions lounge around. The time went by so quick but Aaron and I had a great time being together. We can't wait to do it again.
Enjoying our Starbucks peppermint hot chocolate while we waited for the trolley.
Mmmm.... Clam chowder in a bread bowl.
Fred's Diner. Aaron got the "Hot Mama" burger
After all the walking we did in 4 days, this picture is about how we felt when we were done.

That sounds like so much fun, what a great idea!!:)
What a great get-away! We love San Francisco . . . I think your dad and I should have a get-away there soon, too! It is just beautiful there at Christmas time!
Glad you were able to go and have have such a great time.
Sounds like you had a really fun time! I would love to go to an NFL game so that is cool that you were able to do that. I haven't been to San Francisco since our layover there on the way to Hawaii when you were mad that I sat in the middle row of the mini van and you had to sit in the back. Plus I was sporting the MC Hammer pants, oh the memories!
