We’re heading out west to San Francisco this weekend for vacation.  I’m counting on the weather being nicer than it is here in Chicago.  You know, where it’s been hotter than Hell the past few days.  I hear SF has my kind of weather, mid 60s during the day and cool at night.  Love that.  As usual, we don’t have too much planned for our trip, other than a night tour of Alcatraz, which I’m really looking forward to.  I just hope it’s not scary.  I can handle spooky, but not scary. We may also take a walking tour of Chinatown, but that’s not set in stone yet.

I can’t wait to eat delicious seafood, and of course try some cioppino.  I borrowed a guide book from my Aunt Kathy a few years ago, so we are armed with at least one resource, and Jose will be getting a blackberry from work, so he can be reached in case of emergency, which will come in handy for navigating.

So many people have suggested we rent a car and drive to Carmel or go to Napa, but I don’t know what we’re doing yet.  I’d like to drive down the coast so we might do that one day. Check often for updates about what we’re doing and eating! (of course)!

ciao,
Chris
