SF Road Trip - Day 1 Highlights

It was fun taking a day off work, making this a "four day weekend" instead of the typical three for Labor Day... The occasion? We were invited to attend the wedding of one of my former students up in San Francisco which of course meant another road trip!

If you know our MO, then you should already know where these pastries came from....

Here are just a few highlights of today...


Kettleman City pitstop...

Driving through Gilroy on the 152...

One of many fruit stands along the highway...

Another pitstop, this time in Morgan Hill where we enjoyed our cold drinks...


Almost to our destination, the famous San Francisco fog is starting to roll in...

After checking into our hotel south of the Sunset District, we took the streetcard to Taraval where we had a bite to eat along with dessert...


Later that evening, we met up with my cousin a few blocks away from our motel where we went out for a late night dessert...

Tomorrow would be the big day for my former student and her fiancee! I've known her for 17 years and I can't believe she is about to get married!
