San Francisco Trip

Hi all! I was about to do my regular planning for the next day or two, but instead decided to do a quick entry. I will mention that I have recently become a big fan of Microsoft OneNote--great for those who like to plan!




So, the conference was pretty neat. We went each day but only stayed for 1 or 2 sessions before taking off to do sight seeing. Unfortunately I didn't really take any pics when I was dressed up for the conference. But I will post a few of the sight seeing pictures.

The first picture is me at the base of Lombard St, which is the most crookedest, or most winding street in the world!


The next picture shows all of the sea lions, outside of the Sea Lion Cafe we had lunch in. They were entertaining to watch, those that weren't just sunbathing, that is.
Welcome to the Rock! The Alcatraz tour was my favorite part. It was really interesting to see it in person and hear about what life was like for the inmates.






Here is me outside of one of the cells. Each cell had a little toilet, a cot, and a shelf in the back. There was also a little metal seat attached to the wall with a tiny table over it.

This is me inside one of the solitary confinement cells! Men that were locked in these cells were shut up in complete darkness with nothing but the cement floor.

Other things seen: Ghiradelli Square, Golden Gate Bridge, Little Italy, China Town, and plenty of good shopping at some of my favorite stores.

Busy busy

Going to get a haircut and color. I don't think it will be anything dramatic. I'll take a before and after picture.

Tomorrow I leave for San Francisco! It will be my first time at a professional conference and in the city, so it should be fun.
