I left my heart in San Francisco...

My sister Bethany went on her mission to Oakland, California.
A couple she taught decided to get sealed and so Beth wanted to be out here for that ceremony.
She gets married in a week and we thought it would be fun to go on this trip together.
Best Christmas present!
We flew in yesterday in the morning.
Cathy Holt picked us up from the airport.
The Holt family was Beth's mission family here in her ward.
Bryan and Cathy have 3 boys.
Griffen.
Issac.
Noah.
Cutest little boys.
Beth and I took the car and went out to lunch.
We went to the Cheesecake Factory.
Then we hit up some shopping.
I hate shopping.
But for some reason...it's more enjoyable in other states.
We didn't buy anything. But it was fun to look around.
We found this cute little alley way...darling.



Then we got Coldstone!
Went back to the Holt's.
We relaxed a little before we met up with Roxanne.
The lady that Beth taught.
We walked around this big lake.
I asked Rox about her conversion story.
She is incredible!
Then we got take out sushi and took it back to her house.
After dinner we went over the Bishop Sherwood's house.
We had a chocolate fondue fountain.
We sat and talked.
They are such an incredible family.
Came home and bed time it was.

Thursday came.
We got ready for the day.
Off to San Francisco!!
We took the BART. It's a train!
















We got lunch at an asian restaurant.
It was so good!
Then we walked around San Fran.
We ran into this guy that had this dog that was dressed up as...well let's say...we don't know.
All we know was that he had sunglasses, a santa hat, some couture sweater, feathers in his fur, a diaper on and his name was Louis Vuitton.
Cathy said that the dog was gay....the poor dear.


We hit up Tiffany and Co.
Tried on a $45,000 ring....whoever I marry better start saving up....nah I'm kidding.
Then we walked around China Town.
I had never been.
It was interesting! haha

Beth and I got matching t-shirts!
Off to Pier 39!
We got hot chocolate and saw the sea lions.
We walked through shops and enjoyed every minute of it!
So on our way home, we were at the Trolley stop waiting and waiting and waiting.
A tour bus pulled up to us and we joked around with the driver about giving us a ride back to the BART.
He then told us to hop in!
For free!



It was a double decker so we ran up to the top and danced around during the ride.
Now that's how you do it in San Francisco!












Made it home and went to Chipotle for dinner.
Came home and watched Planet of the Apes.
I really love it here!
I love being with my sister.
She gets married next week.
So it was out last little sister bonding time together.
Thank you Bethany for serving a mission here!
Stay tuned for more California adventures
