Our Last Day in San Fran

 While I am a small town So. Utah Girl, I also love to travel.  Visiting San Francisco fed a "travel bug" I have had for the past 6 months.  I love the energy I felt here... something about being in the city make you feel so alive!

 On the last day of our trip, Rigby and Stockton had tickets to see Curry play at the San Francisco Warrior game so the rest of us took the hotel shuttle to Union Square.  

 We were grateful to see the Christmas decorations and even more grateful that the crowds had somewhat lessened since the week prior to Christmas.

It was fun to watch the people, see the decor and feel the pulse of downtown.  Seleck was our navigator- let's just say I am directionally challenged.  We had hoped to have a nice lunch at the Cheesecake factory, but the 21/2 hour wait list quickly discouraged us.  Even better, we grabbed some hot dogs at the sidewalk vendor and  shared two pieces of cheesecake under the Macey's tree.  It was a perfect memory.  We then hit Niketown... a little shopping for Madsen and Maleck and then we explored Chinatown.  It was so fun to watch the kids experience a "taste" of another culture.  I loved the architecture and Emma and Maleck enjoyed souvenir shopping.
