Wednesday night we drove to Tahoe to see Kel's seasonal ski cabin and hit the slopes. We hit Squaw Valley Thursday for some powder and poor visability. Tom hadn't been in over 10 years, but was a natural after a few warm up runs. After our day on the mountain, we headed back to the cabin for some much needed hot tub therapy.
Friday we took a leisurly drive back to SF by way of Emerald Bay (in Tahoe). That night we met up with Kel's roommate Joanna and Stan, who flew in and took the BART (metro) into the city. After parking a bit far from the restaurant, hiking a bit, then a quick cab ride, we enjoyed a funky little meal in the Mission.
Saturday was spent crusing the city...Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, Lands End, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square. Sunday we headed to Monteray to visit the Aquarium. That night we met up with Stan's fantasy baseball friend Mike who lives in SF. Monday, Stan headed back to VA while the rest of us jumped on a ferry boat to Tiburon for lunch then back to Golden Gate Park for Lily to play on the playground. Dinner was at a little diner near Kel's house.
We left early Tuesday morning...Tracy had no problems, however, the rest of the crew got diverted to Tulsa (was supposed to go to Dallas), then to the Tulsa airport basement because of tornado warning, then a new flight through Chicago which finally got them to DC real late! No luggage of course.
All in all, San Fran was good to us again...great weather, great food, good times.
