Smile, The Camera Is On You

A photo area with props was set up, at Michelle and Don’s reception, to record a special photo and to write a special message in the guest book for the happy couple. Dee, Mother of the Groom, had fun sharing how happy she was for the newly married couple.          

Here Comes The Bride

Everyone had watched the Bridal Party come down the aisle, it was now time for the Bride to shine. And she did! As she and Tom made their entrance, it was hard to tell which one was shinning the most. They just radiated happiness.  

Kick Off The Celebration

We arrived in Mt. Shasta without any problems, got to the hotel, cleaned up and headed out for the Welcome Party. And a welcome it was. Tom, Mary Alice and Dee had arranged a very nice evening for our enjoyment. We were so entertained that not many pictures were taken. There was two coolers and […]

Riding the Cable Cars

The cable car was introduced to San Francisco on August 2, 1873. Wire-cable manufacturer Andrew Hallidie conceived the idea after witnessing an accident in which a horse-drawn carriage faltered and rolled backward downhill dragging the horses behind it. The first cable car to descend down Clay Street on Nob Hill was an immediate success. besides […]

Haight & Ashbury

The area still maintains its bohemian ambiance. It is also home to a number of independent restaurants and bars, as well as clothing boutiques, booksellers, and record stores.

This neighborhood, marked by the Castro Theatre marquee, has become a symbol of gay and lesbian pride throughout the world. […]

A Bunny Rabbit

As we looked out of our room window, we could see a large rabbit on the roof top across the street. Couldn’t find out why the rabbit was there.

Coit Tower/Telegraph Hill

We arrived at the top of Filbert Stairs, which is known as Telegraph Hill. This is where the 210-foot Coit Tower is located. The Tower was built with funds left to the City by philanthropist Lillie Hitchcock Coit for the beautification of San Francisco. Due to Coit’s admiration for the fire fighters who fought the […]

Lots of Steps

After having breakfast we went to the Filbert Street Steps. The steps descend the east slope of Telegraph Hill along the line where Filbert Street would be if the hill weren’t so steep. We started up the steps and end at the art deco Coit Tower; sure of enough, there is an amazing scenic view […]
