Hi everyone! I had great time in San Francisco, despite the weather being a little cooler than I might have liked it to be. Instead of writing a whole long post about my trip, I’m just going to let these pictures do most of the talking (sorry if the formatting is a little wonky):
Our first stop was at Ghiradelli Square at the end of Fisherman’s Wharf. We got a ton of chocolate and a delicious ice cream sundae! |
 Even though the weather wasn’t great most of the trip, I was just excited to see all of the palm trees. They were awesome. |
Sister (below) is studying architecture, so she was excited to see the green roof at the California Academy of Sciences. |
 I was also pretty impressed with the architecture and whatnot of the building, although I didn’t nerd out about it as much as she did! I liked the trees and greenery. |
|
While at Golden Gate Park, we also visited the Japanese Tea Gardens to get some good pictures. |
 We also took a boat tour of the Bay, which was a little goofy because the entire Golden Gate Bridge was in a fog bank. We could hardly see anything when we went underneath it. |
That’s just a nutshell of the trip, we certainly got in a lot more stuff in just four days. If you want to see more, you can check out my San Francisco photos on Flickr.
I’m still not quite back into work/school/blog mode, so I’m trying to reacquaint myself slowly. Unfortunately, there are about a million posts in my reader that I just don’t have time to get t0, and I need your help:
What are the best posts you’ve written or read in the last week? Leave me links to good posts (your own, or posts from other people) in the comments and I’ll be sure to visit. In return, I’ll give you a little link love by letting the blogger know that you recommended their post to me!

It looks like you had a fabulous trip – Ghiradelli Square sounds like heaven. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.
Welcome back from SF. SF is one of my fave cities in the US and I have visited on several occassions. I am so lucky that I have friends there, with whom I can stay, so while I don’t visit as often as I would like (SF is a heck of a long way from Denmark, almost on the other side of the world and the flight is looooooooong) I do feel that I know the city a bit and am always looking forward to visit again. Haven’t been since May 2007 though and that is nearly two years ago, about time I go to US again, I think.
Welcome back, and thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos.
Welcome home! I’m notorious for forgetting who posted what, but I definitely recommend that you read Debi’s post about the Read-a-thon, and my blog-ersation with my husband about Edgar Sawtelle.
Hi Kim,
Glad to hear your back. Looks like you and your sister had a great time even though the weather wasn’t great! That’s what counts! I have a Saturday review of the three books I done this week. I am actually pretty proud of them, I done them on my own, no Amazon.Com product description. You can see it here: http://sherriesbooks.blogspot.com/2009/03/saturday-review.html Have a great week end!

Wonderful post of your trip – I love travelling vicariously through all my blog buddies! I’ve got two posts to recommend to you:
My blog buddy Bobbi already brought us to all the Ancient Wonders of the World. Now she’s taking us to the Seven Wonders of the Natural World.

Japanese gardens look gorgeous. Looks like you had a great time….
I live in Southern California so Frisco is not that much of a drive for me but we are going there this summer for our family vacation. It’s been a good 12 years since I’ve been there so it will be nice to share it with the kids.
I am going to check out your Fickr feed.
Yes, it was awesome. We had a giant ice cream sundae that was to die for.
I’d never been to SF before, so it was a blast. But yes, it’s a very long way from Denmark! We didn’t get to a lot of things, so I’m hopeful I’ll get to go back sometime in the future.
Thanks!
Great posts, thanks for the links Ali.
Also fantastic, thanks a lot Julia! I’ve never read this blog before, so new posts are exciting for me.
Yes, we did. The Tea Garden was beautiful, very serene. I wish it had been a little sunnier when we went, but otherwise can’t complain.
You guys will have a great time, I’m sure. There was a ton of stuff I wanted to do but just didn’t have time for. Make sure to ride the trolley, obviously
