Sandy drove up here to pick me up on Wednesday morning about 9:20. She had already picked up Tina and now we were heading over to pick up Greta. We were lucky all of our stuff fit in back of Sandy’s small SUV. And soon we were on our way to San Francisco!!
I was asked to take a dear friends (Bea) place. Unfortunately she got sick, but was fortunate for me!! 
When I found out I was taking Bea’s place on Tuesday about 2pm, I needed to rush over to Clearlake Walmart to get a cute little outfit we were all to wear to the Jersey Boys’ show.. I made it and they had it and all was good!!!
The reservations for our stay were at the Donatello at Union Square. Bea’s daughter had some timeshare points to get these wonderful rooms!!We had show reservations to see the Jersey Boys at the Curran at 2pm on Wednesday.
We surely turned heads with our cute blue & white striped shirts and matching blue pants. People would say “why are you all dressed a like”? We said so we could find one another, then we would say “We were the “Jersey Girls”.. People loved that we were dressed a like! Some would stare and then we would say “Your seeing quadruple huh”? “Guess you had too many drinks”!! Oh and they would laugh! It was fun interacting with all the people. We brought smiles to their faces! We kept the outfits on all day that day..After the show we went to Lori’s for a bit to eat.
Then we walked around Union Square, did some shopping, etc.. we really wanted to find a place that had “Happy Hour”.. drinks are incredibly expensive in SF.. Happy hour on the other hand is a much better deal..
Finally we got back to the hotel where we went Zingari’s Bar/Restaurant..
Happy hour there started at 9pm..
We were seated at a small cocktail table by the mai·tre d'. Of course we were laughing and having a good time and he politely put his hand to his mouth gesturing that we should be quiet.. really?? Well needless to say, we tried to hold it down, however we were having too much fun and laughing, etc.. We were listening to the music interacting with the singer of the lounge music.. She encouraged us to have fun and not worry about the mai·tre d'!! Soon we had the whole place dancing and having fun! Probably one of the better nights at the Zingari’s Bar!!! So fun!!
Our fun continued on up to our rooms! We were just laughing and just having a blast! We got our jammies on and soon we were having a “Pajama Party”.. finally about 1:30 or so we said our good nights and off to bed we all went..
Needless to say the next morning we all had the “slows” if you get my meaning??
However that didn’t hold us back.. We got dressed went for breakfast at Lefty O'Doul's. And as you can see we are on our way again!
Then stopped off at DSW the shoe store, bought some shoes. We dropped the shoes off at the hotel, got our walking shoes on and headed to Pier 39!
We walked through China Town, then North Beach and finally got to Pier 39. We took a few pictures, stopped off to see the sea lions, visited some of the stores.. Chocolate store was one of the most popular.. We stopped off to have a snack at a seafood restaurant. Greta and I enjoyed a crab cocktail. While Tina & Sandy had a beer and Sandy had some calamari… Tina’s isn’t crazy for seafood.. Soon we were back walking to the hotel at Union Square.. All of complaining a bit here and there about being tired or our feet hurt. Despite the complaints we all walked back to the hotel. We made a few stops on the way back.. we stopped for French bread and then at the salami store “Malinari’s”.. And in China town picked up another few items. We all could have sworn we walked at least 10 miles that day..!! well?? Not quite.. I mapped it when I got home and it was about 5 miles round trip.. not counting our little side trips to the stores, etc.. so I am sure it was at least 10 miles!!!! Right!!
We had dinner reservations at Zingari’s at 5:30 on Thursday night. We made it back in enough time to rest a bit get cleaned up and go down for a cocktail and then dinner.
We had a fabulous dinner!! OMG “to die for scallops”! Everyone else's food was wonderful as well! uummm…
It was an early night… we were all back at our rooms at about 9pm..bMovie night.. I bunked with Sandy and Tina & Great Bunked together. Not sure what movie they watched..
Tina & I were up early and ready for the “time share” presentation we promised to go to, so we could get a “FREE” dinner at Zangari’s the night before.. and we also got one night of FREE parking at the Donatello!! woo hoo!!
We got home about 2pm on Friday.. aaahh great time was had by all!! Thanks Girls for such a GREAT “weekend”!!
A special Thanks goes to Bea and Bea’s daughter for making all of this happen..
