san francisco - stewart girl style!

DISCLAIMER: in making this post i don't want anyone to feel bad who wasn't able to come this year! some years there will be new babies, or scheduling conflicts, or missions to go on, or who knows what...the point is, we need to plan something each year, and whoever can make it will have fun together, right? :)

these are a few of my favorite memories (in no particular order.(:

1-thirteen women (ages 13 - 80) pulling their suitcases in single file from the bart station at nordstrom, through the crowded sidewalks, past union square, to the grand hyatt and hearing a young man say, "they must be runway models!" (yes, i knew he wasn't talking about me)

2-taking the double decker sight seeing bus- hearing the screams and laughter, hair blowing practically off our heads, bundled up in blankets (who cares about germs), wondering if we would ever be warm again!

3- brenda and rhonda buying new shoes (not because they needed to wear them) less than an hour after we landed!

4- eating at an italian restaurant and having a waiter (with a fake accent) that kristen could imitate almost perfectly! (michelle asking for tap water, not really :)

5- visiting alcatraz! (having a photo shoot with michelle on the mossy steps)

6- gheridelli square! (amazing hot fudge)

7- the great entertainment while waiting to get on the trolley car, sadie's stinker and violation :)

8- foot massages using lush products! kristen being an asian woman giving a pedicure. crystals strange butt bone.

9- finding carma's home...seeing the look on her face...hearing her stories!

10- laughing with and loving everyone who was there. what a fun group of relatives :)

Until next year...start giving your suggestions...we'll make a date!
