Behind Bars

WHERE: San Francisco, California
WHEN: June 1992
WITH: Family (Mom, Dad, Kim, Diana)
WHY: Kim was leaving from San Francisco to go to Australia/New Zealand for the summer.

MEMORIES:
-Touring Alcatraz and being afraid that when we walked into a cell and closed the door that it wouldn't open again and I'd be stuck there forever.
-Getting my caricature drawn...and getting the better artist (than Diana).
-Marine World

Treats. San Francisco treats.

WHERE: San Francisco, California
WHEN: March 2010
WITH: Jill Macdonald (Hill) and Jessie Willes (Beesley)
WHY: Spring break!

MEMORIES:
-It was a long drive.
-We stayed with Glenn Germany (college friend) for a night and Steve Pearson (another college friend) for a few nights.
-Watching the second Twilight movie on Steve's wall when neither Steve nor his roommate were home.
-We met up with Ryan Hill (Jill's future husband) for some sightseeing as he was also driving down to San Francisco.  
-It got too confusing with two Jessi(e)s in the car, so Jessie Willes renamed herself Carol.  We still call her Carol, or Jessie Carol when we are both around each other or talked about in conversation.
-Pier 30, Ghiradelli Square, Trolley rides, Lombard Street, Chinatown, Full House house, Golden Gate Bridge, and Golden Gate Park (my favorite)
-Jelly Belly factory tour on the way home!
