Sorry for such a long absence! This week has been INSANE and...I'm sick! Boo...So here's last weekend's San Fran trip Recap!

Head out bright and early! Burns had me wake up all the girls at 5:20am by blasting music through the hall...we played "Tik Tok" by Kesha...let me just say...I'm pretty sure many girls were not too pleased...but everyone made it to the vans on time! Road trip to NASA...we had such a fun van! Exploring NASA and sitting through 2 lectures...then lunch in the parking lot. On the road again to San Francisco...first stop...the Legion of Honor Museum...So much interesting artwork...but definitely not my favorite stop. Then...finally off to our hotel! We stayed at The Mosser...right smack in the middle of Union Square...it was such a nice hotel...but the rooms were so tiny...no fear...I got one all to myself! It was such a strange hotel...it was like being in the dorms with community bathrooms and all...only in San Francisco! We were then set free to explore the city all night! Me, Taylor (roomie), Ian, Jess, and Drew all took off together. We ate at Chipotle and scrambled around in the pouring rain! Me and Taylor bought these great bubble umbrellas to keep us dry! We then went back to my room and a big group of us piled on my bed and we watched a movie! At about 10pm we went back out (it finally stopped raining!) to Coldstone for late night dessert. Back to the hotel and...bed time!

Saturday, March 17, 2012: ST. PATRICK'S DAY...NO REGRETZ
This was our motto all day! We began the day by all heading to Grace Cathedral by cable car and spending a few hours roaming around there. We ate lunch together in the park across the street...and then were given the rest of the day to ourselves...and were even given free passes to get us on the public transportation all day! A group of us first went back to our hotel and watched the St. Patty's Parade that was happening right in Union Square! It was not that exciting...but we made it exciting...by screaming, being obnoxious, and even joining the parade at one point. Then we took the half underground metro to Haight and Ashbury...aka hippy street! We spent most of the day here thrifting, walking around, eating crepes, and yes...even getting piercings! I fell into peer pressure and got my forward helix pierced! Reed videoed it...but I made him hold my hand too! haha From here we took a bus back to the hotel, changed, and took the cable car to Fisherman's Wharf. We ate at Boudin (sourdough bread for the win!), went to Ghiradelli Square for dessert, and went to Pier 39 to see the sea lions! We took a retro bus back and finally made it back to the hotel a little after midnight. I was so exhausted...I don't remember much...except that I laid on my bed and did not awaken until the next morning!

Awaken. Hope in the vans...to the De Young Museum...I enjoyed this one so much! They had a 360 Panorama view of the city on the 7th floor...so cool...and the artwork was just so much more interesting and intriguing. After, we ate lunch together in the courtyard...and began our journey back to APU. Upon arrival we were greeted with tons of SNOW! It was crazy how much there was...apparently what spring semester here is supposed to look like...haha. Homework time and bed...this weekend was SO MUCH FUN! Not only do I love San Francisco...but getting to explore it with people I love?! Even better.
