San Francisco!

One of the great things about having friends who live all over the country is being able to take fun weekend trips to visit. Thanks to our friends' Chris and Leslie's wedding, we recently spent the weekend in San Francisco, having a mini college reunion and doing some sightseeing in addition to the nuptials. It was my first visit to SF. We spent the (very quick) weekend with Jen and Cliff, our college roommates, and a bunch more friends from NU. And where was TJ, you ask, since he is conspicuously absent in these pics? He spent the weekend being spoiled by Uncle Tucker, his mom, and his mom's friend. Pictures on that to follow after I get them from Tucker, but they had a ton of fun.

A boat tour in the bay with Jen and Cliff, under the Golden Gate bridge. And yes, it was as gray and windy as it looks! 


Jen and Cliff on the trolley...the ultimate San Francisco tradition!

Waiting for the trolley to get moving. We got to stand on the running boards, which was just what I was hoping to do...and then got soaked when it started to rain!

We knew SF was hilly, but we were really surprised at how steep some were. As we huffed and puffed up and down the streets, Ed and Cliff joked about going car tipping (similar to cow tipping!).

I saw this during our trolley ride. The spelling isn't quite right but still...


Clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls at Alioto's!

The lovely bride and groom, Leslie and Chris, during their first dance.

NU Class of 2000 may have been celebrating our 10-year reunion in Evanston, but we had a reunion of our own--17 Delta Upsilons--so wonderful to catch up with everyone! And amazing, once the dancing started, how little anyone had changed...
