HIPPO BRIGADE

oooh! Check out Union Square for some shopping and people watching, and Pier 39 to see fat sea lions. Your brother and I went to the Pier so that I could freak out over them and then walked around and saw that a magic show was about to start. The lady asked for volunteers, so I of course elaborately volunteered Jason, and he ended up holding the lady up in the air with some other guy while she juggled fire. Oh, it’s also fun to try to see how many times you can almost get hit by a cable car. I mastered that activity.

we’re going there on saturday too! we’re going to the death cab show in berkeley - yeah! i suggest going to fisherman’s wharf and going to boudin (www.boudinbakery.com) and having a fine bowl of clam chowder (in a bread bowl) unless of course you’re not into that sort of thing… there’s also the infamous sea lions that are loud and obnoxious, but kind of a touristy thing to do.

for sure you need to jump on a cable car for a photo op!

there’s a cute little boutique that has lots of things that we don’t need, but want anyway. check out http://www.godemago.com - it’s in the mission district.

Never been there. Does your Mom read your blog?

I highly recommend doing a free tea tasting in china town and House of NanKing chinese food is incredible. If you go there you should let the the waiter select for you. Also, Chow in the Mission District is pretty good.

I’ve never been, but my in-laws go all of the time. All I ever hear about is how great the shopping is.

Have fun!!!

First, the acne must be the weather, because my face has defiantly rebelled against my proactive, I’ve got Maurice’s family tree, and it’s a climbing vine, spreading all over.

Second, If I remember correctly, I doubt your mom is going to think twice about “sex toys”…

and, lastly, for your list of to do’s……dont forget saying, “to heck with it all” and going to taste some yummy chocolate.

muir woods is amazing! I loved it.

Dang! I got here too late; you’re probably back from San Francisco. It’s my former stomping grounds; I coulda given you insider tips, like “be sure to play on the glass elevators at the St. Francis,” and visit the tiki room at the Marc Hopkins for happy hour.

Alas.
Hope you had a great time.

Hope your trip was soooo great!!! This reminded me of when my mom would babysit while I went to college ( yes, single mom for years)and when I would drop them off I would start explaining what she should and shouldn’t do, and she gave me that mom look like why the heck are you explaining everything to me that I may have taught you?? hahaha Thanks for the time travel, I miss my momma.

also, the hiding of your sex toys. I used to have the reaccuring nightmare that when I was a single mom, I would die and someone would come to clean my stuff out of my house, and find my big stash of toys…. uuggghhh Now I proudly display them, and hope they are jealous of the “action” I get… lol

I am new to your blog, but I want to thank you so much for the laughs and fun you have given me already!!
