Pristine blue skies, abundant sunshine, gentle breezes, warm temps - in other words, it was a Top Ten Day in San Francisco and I took full advantage. Armed with an invite from my friend Joyce to come-a-gardening at her house up in Vallejo, a big tall cup of joe and a fresh cherry scone I set out on my early Sunday morning adventure. Exiting the Ferry Building I see this:
And then, as I wait for the ferry to come in, I revel in the splendor of the day, dodging dodgy tourists, munching my yummy warm scone and getting properly amped up on my super-duper caffeinated beverage. Then the ferry blasts into the harbor and cruises over to the dock:
Me and my fellow passengers charge the dock and boardwalk, tickets and Clipper Cards in hand. We board our vessel and begin our hour long journey skimming over the outrageously blue and white capped waters of the San Francisco Bay on our way to Vallejo. The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the San Francisco skyline....beauty abounds and we're in awe. And to top it off I got to sit outside on the rear deck and watch the amazing, unfolding show first hand....AND I got to talk, laugh and share with my new friend Sandi (native New Yorker transplant...of course) the entire way.
To say I am blessed is a severe understatement.
It was an extraordinary day...fun working in the garden, lovely conversation, perfect summer weather and a delightful Tuscan inspired al fresco lunch accompanied by a couple of glasses of an ice cold, sweetly blushed rose. To top it all off, Joyce sent me home with an adorable little "Thank You" gift. It goes so well on my sofa, don't you agree? Lol....
Yes, it does go well! Sounds like an absolutely perfect day...now you'll have memories of it whenever you look at the little birdie! :)
