a beautiful week(ish) in san fran

So, earlier this week I was in San Francisco. Even though I was there for work, I had the opportunity to get out and see the city. I was so excited because I hadn't been there before. And, I was with a group from work so we actually had a car. We totally tore up that city! 

Here is what I got to do this week. 
Sunday, travel to SFO, check in at the hotel, go to the city for dinner. We are at Plant Cafe Organic on Pier 3. Yummy! Then we drove up to Twin Peaks and saw the city at night. Mark (friend in the city) told us to come back in the day because both views are amazing. He was right. 

Monday, meetings all day. Then to dinner to digest (ha! ha!) what we had talked about. Drove to Berkeley and ate at Thai Delight. Some of  THE BEST thai food I have had. My coworkers agreed. 

Tuesday, drive to Napa Valley for a meeting at the court. Amazing drive. Even better weather (it was 72 degrees), fun little lunch (bento box), and relaxing drive home. We then drove in to the city and TORE IT UP!! Pictures below... 

Wednesday was another meeting day. and then travel home. the flight was delayed by two hours so it was a little later getting home than we expected or wanted. 

Here are the highlights of what we saw one afternoon in San Francisco. 

 A view of Alcatraz from the viewpoint at the Golden Gate Bridge. It is really out there! One day, I will do this tour.
 The beautiful bridge!!
 Proof I was on this trip! :)
 Crazy coworkers on this random adventure
 The painted ladies. Aren't they pretty.
 A "house" near the painted ladies. I loved the detail.
 If you know Full House, you know this view.
 More pretty amazing house details.
 Day view at Twin Peaks
 View of bridge from Twin Peaks.
 Trying to get a picture of the steepness that is Divisadero Street. Doesn't come close to the real thing.
 Driving down the switchbacks of Lombard Street.
