Michelle, Jeanette, and Traisa
Jeanette master-minded the whole party and here they are at Pier 39. It was a lovely but windy day and we met up with another Michelle and Doug at Boudin's at Fisherman's Wharf for a glorious lunch and margarita. Okay, I had the margarita while the others had wine or beer but Jeanette behaved with a virgin mojito....
We walked all OVER the city and finished at the Ferry Building that was converted into shops and we found the most drop-dead-fabulously-delicious Coconut Mousse Cake I have ever tasted. I did share with everyone but it was hard....
And then we found the chocolate shop--Scharffen Berger. Oh, for the love of all things skinny, that stuff is yummy.... I got a mini of lavendar/blueberry dark chocolate and a chocolate with lavendar and blueberry chapstick and a small bag of milk chocolate. Wow. Each little milk chocolate square is about 20 calories and it's wonderful enough you can just have one and savor it without adding a ton of calories to your list.
Wow.
There was also a stand selling meat-filled empanadas but, forutnately or unfortunately, I was stuffed from the cake and lunch so I didn't get one but next time I go in I'm all over it. I want one of those bad boys!!! :)
I had to leave the fun to get home and help with the boys so I headed to the Embarcadero BART station. I overshot it by six blocks..... Here is the first picture I took on the way back:
Beautiful afternoon in the city, wasn't it?
And here's another shot as I wandered back to BART:
All in all, it was a fabulous day of fun and friends and I thoroughly enjoyed my Mini Skyline Class of '86 Reunion and it was sure easy to sit and visit and chat with folks I hadn't seen in 25 years....
I'll add more pictures as soon as I get the rest of the pics downloaded.

Hey--this is a test post--I hear that it's being persnickety and we need to fix that. :) If you see this post that means it worked and I would dearly love to hear from you!
