O Christmas Tree

This past weekend my roommates and I drove to Heber and cut down our own Christmas tree! We snowshoed in a few miles to find the perfect tree, cut it down, and drank some hot chocolate before carrying it back to our car.

These are my new roommates around our Christmas tree. (Amanda, Cherise, me, Heather)

The Foods of San Francisco



In my opinion, cities are best judged by their cuisine. In planning a trip to the golden gate city, it was necessary to try all of its varied cuisine. After sampling San Francisco's food this last weekend, I would say it is a pretty "sweet" place to visit! This post will highlight the best tastes of San Francisco!

San Francisco is known for its sourdough bread. Check out the bread animals at this sourdough bread factory! The sourdough bread bowls and clam chowder were incredible!



The next stop was Fisherman's Wharf. I did not try the seafood but got a good look at it!



As a chocolate lover, Ghiradelli Square was a must see. I recommend the cable car sundae.



Another excellent food recommendation includes authentic Italian food. Saturday morning we went to a farmer's market and with all the healthy food there, we chose to eat pork sandwiches for breakfast! The fresh Italian donuts were also tasty. The day was finished off with another peppermint sundae from Fenton's. (For those of you who have seen the movie UP, it is the same ice cream shop featured in that movie.)

The verdict: It is a good thing there are so many hills in San Francisco to work off the delicious food this city offers!

On a different note, someday I would like to own real estate in a place like this. This lighthouse is across Golden Gate Bridge and overlooks San Francisco.
