We had a good excuse to go on vacation. Vince is interviewed in the newest "Circle Ahead" Magazine and they were throwing a launch party.
We were there the week before Halloween so the city was all gussied up for a spooktacular time:
My first photo I took as we arrived in San Francisco. Thought it said a lot :)
We took a fun walk up Irving Ave. and stopped in a few stores. I even bought an art piece! I never buy stuff like that because we don't have room but I broke my rule, bought a small painting after talking with the artist and luckily I found a space for it on our bookcase.
After walking and shopping we went to Ocean Beach to see the Sandcastle Competition. It was a perfect day, warm, blue skies, music and thousands of people playing in the sand.
That's the Cliff House behind us. And the famous rocks covered in birds (and their poo).Our home away from home (Thank You Priscilla!!!) - The Claymont - in the Cole Valley part of San Francisco.
Sunday we hopped over the Golden Gate Bridge and went to Sausalito for lunch. It's exciting to drive over this and the views are the best.
Had lunch at Scoma's. Had some of that delicious sourdough bread. Yum.
The views were so beautiful. Kayaker's floating by with the city in the background
And all of a sudden the sailboats arrived
Loved this day and place
Vince kept saying he needed to get a shot of the elephants. I didn't know what he was talking about until we came upon....the elephants.
The next day was the party in Palo Alto. We had lunch with one of my clients, Lisa Cano Pires (who I met for the first time in person, she drove two hours to meet us for lunch and I forgot to take a photo!) and then walked around town. Palo Alto has a fun vibe to it and lots of yummy looking restaurants. Stanford is a gorgeous campus. Check out the movies they're playing at the Stanford. We had a couple of hours so we hung in a park and worked on a screenplay that Vince is writing. Then....to the party!
The artwork collection was awesome. As well as the artists :)
I love this picture - it looks like I'm about to get slapped! Ha! Probably deserved it but she was actually copying a pose from statue that was behind her.
So proud of you Vinney!
This is Michael Grossman, husband to Wati, a writer with a new book being released that Vince will be interviewing soon for his podcast.
This is Wati Grossman, the publisher and party launcher.
The next morning...
Our Monday party day was huge. By the time we got back to San Francisco we were exhausted. The next day we decided to chill out. We stayed in our hood, had some breakfast and then went to Twin Peaks. I had to go there and check out the view. And besides, we all remember that weird tv show, Twin Peaks, right? What a view!
Twin Peaks is in the hood we're staying at so afterwards I went to get a manicure and this is what Vince did while he waited for me...
That night we packed up and got ready for the long journey home...Saying goodbye to beautiful San Francisco.
The whole town was decorated for Halloween.
I truly fell head over heels for SF this trip. I think the warm weather and blue skies helped.
And we got to wear our coats at night! Loved that after the hottest summer ever.
