God jul!!

And what a weekend! A late arrival and three-hour jetlag did not stop the girl-talk Thursday night, but that did not stop a full day of San Francisco sightseeing Friday. Thank you to Scott for putting together a great itinerary filled with great views of the city & the bridge, plus all kinds of historical points of interest (unfortunately, I seem to have forgotten some of the factoids, so the recounts to my historian boyfriend are somewhat lacking in detail...). Friday night found us on a dancefloor in fabulous North Beach, and Saturday held a beautiful drive down Highway 1 to Santa Cruz - including stops at every lighthouse, beach and point of historical interest on the way.
The circus-themed Holdiay party was a display of how things can be done with festive extravaganza - acrobats, jugglers, live snakes, a lion trainer (apparently the lion had escaped)and the CEO dressed up as a jester (I'd love to see my boss wearing a cap 'n bells hat!) - and I cannot begin to describe how sad and cheap our Holiday party next weekend will seem in comparison... I guess that's what you get for working for the government.
