San Francisco Day Three

There's my heart! I knew I left it in San Francisco!

Union Square boasts all the swanky shops....

Jeff left HIS heart in San Francisco too!

Free hugs anyone? From a man wearing a pink skirt? Anyone?

Beautiful tree with amazing flowers!

Ready for dinner!

The handsome guy who brought me to SF!

Day three started out with Jeff leaving early for a morning session of work, while I updated my blog and Facebook in the hotel room, eating cookies for breakfast! :) Jeff ended up having to work later, so I had lunch at the hotel restaurant by myself; a wonderful, big California cobb salad and lemonade. After lunch I headed to the mall again, this time wandering all nine floors and browsing, stopping at Borders to buy a couple of books. I wandered over towards the convention center where Jeff was, and had a Starbucks break while waiting for him. He arrived around 2:30 and we went back to the room to put stuff away and change, then headed to Union Square to take a double-decker tour bus around the city. We took a 90 minute loop which took us through most major points of interest including going across the Golden Gate bridge. Took tons of photos, and headed back to Union Square just in time to make it back to our room, change again (I love dressing up for dinner!) and meet some of Jeff's peeps for dinner at John's Grill. Apparently this restaurant was a setting for "The Maltese Falcon" which sparked Jeff's interest and now he wants to read it! I ordered a "Bloody Bridget" drink which had some significance to the book, and got a souvenier glass to bring home. It was a beautiful day, sunny and breezy. Great day!
