San Fransisco

Yesterday was such a fun getaway.  Caitlin, Sarah, and I made a day trip to San Fransisco and had such a great time.  We started the day with a healthy dose of shopping.  This consisted of visiting the usuals (aka Gap), branching out at Forever 21 (you're welcome Laura), and drooling over clothes at Anthropologie.  Once we had spent too much money, we ventured off the beaten path and tried to take the bus to Ghiradelli Square.  That lasted about 5 minutes until we gave up and hailed a cab, but it's the thought that counts, right?  Once we arrived we putted around the square, resisting the chocolate shop only to cave into tea and crumpets at "Crown and Crumpet." Not only was the food delicious, but the shop was absolutely darling.  After that delicious detour we wandered down to Pier 39, took some pictures, and shopped some more.  It was so pretty and foggy -- it felt more like November than July, which was a nice change.  We ended our day at a cute Irish Pub, which I thought was especially appropriate, as I only have 3 weeks until I will leave for Ireland.  Ahhh!!  Even though the cute Irish guys sitting next to us moved away, the meal almost made up for it (which says a lot about the meal, I think) and we left for home very pleased with ourselves and our day.  All in all, I think it was a very successful trip.
