Taking off from LAX to San Francisco on Virgin
America with the tower in the background.
I would fly Virgin again.
My daughter and I traveled to San Francisco and Redding, California for a week. This little
Beach Grill started an amazing adventure for us. Our waiter made our day. He
steered us to some wonderful sites and shops.
We started our adventure here on a typical
San Francisco street.
We walked about and found this fantastic little boutique called,
Paparazzi. This was our most memorable time in San Francisco.
This is the front window of the shop that is filled with beautiful
clothing and jewelry. If you visit, you have to stop here. It’s
the North Beach location on Grant Street. More later on what we
bought.
This was the chandelier hanging in the shop. I can’t resist a gorgeous chandelier.
Beautiful one of a kind pieces of jewelry.
This is the sign on the front window.
This is the famous coffee house where many authors have written
best sellers. I had espresso. Delicious.
This is the book store made famous in the hippie sixties.
How could we miss walking to Pier 39 where I got this shot of a passenger ferry racing to get a
better view of Alcatraz prison.
This is the back of the Fog Harbor restaurant at Pier 39. We had a pick me up here which
included crème brulee.
I couldn’t resist taking this photo.
On our way out of San Francisco I walked into this Art Gallery (near the CVS) with a dozen beautiful
chandeliers located near Pier 39.
We drove to Redding, California where we stayed in this beautiful hotel ( Win-River) with
this lovely creek running in front of it.
My top is by Lucky brand from Nordstrom and my sunglasses by Ralph Lauren
My earrings I bought at Paparazzi.
This is the reason for our trip. We went to see my brother, Doug.
Here we are underneath the palms at the hotel.
This is my beautiful daughter, Jenny. A joy
to travel with. We had a great time.
This is the view of the Bay Bridge as we drove to the airport to return home.
I didn’t get a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. I was too far away.
Know someone who would enjoy this?
