This past weekend was just a San Francisco kind of weekend. Being my first weekend off in a while I had asked Dan what he wanted to do. He came to me a few minutes later with the response of "Go throw some clothes in a bag we are gonna go to San Francisco". I love how spontaneous my husband can be. So we threw some clothes in a bag and took off for the weekend. We made reservations at a hotel I have been wanting to stay at called the Queen Anne Hotel. The Queen Anne has been reported to be haunted. And those of you who know me know I couldn't pass up the chance to stay at a haunted hotel! Our room was really quite beautiful. It was like stepping back into the 1800's. We had a large king size canopy bed, a small fire place. It was all very quaint.
Although I don't think the hotel is haunted, it is a very interesting and beautiful place. The one thing we didn't know about our weekend away was that it was a Chinese New Year. So every Restaurant was packed. We found a great Steak house and were lucky enough to get a spot at the bar. We decided to break out of or normal routine of ordering beer. And went with a Martini. I had a Apple Martini and Dan and a Raspberry and Rosemary Martini both were delish!!!
The next day we decided to hit Haight Ashberry and do a little sight seeing. Everything down there is so eclectic. It is very interesting place to be. Lots of different people from all walks of life.

We even went back to visit my favorite place, Fort Point. Now this place I KNOW is haunted. I knew this the first time we visited there. There is something about the Powder room. There is a heaviness in that room that I cant quite explain. I just know that there is spiritual activity in that room I just haven't been able to tap into it yet. But I am hoping to explore it more on future visits. There is a deep sadness there.
But on another note we also managed to cross a few more things off our San Francisco Bucket list. We have finally ridden the cable cars and visited China town. Both were quite an adventure. The only thing we have left is to visit Alcatraz. But that is something we have to plan. As it is usually booked in advance. So the next trip will have to be a planned trip. All in all it was a great weekend.
