Hello everyone!Last Saturday I did my last long run for the Baltimore Half Marathon, which is coming up in a couple of weeks.
Sunday Ron and I flew to San Francisco for a week. I went for a "work" Oracle Conference, and since Ron wasn't working he decided to come with me. We had a great time! Ate at too many nice places and hung out at some fun places.
The hotel was fab!!! We stayed at the newly built InterContinental San Francisco. It was hard to leave the room. We had a corner room, so basically 2 walls of the room was ceiling to floor windows with awesome views of the city. It's probably the best hotel I've ever stayed in. (It's a tie with the Hyatt hotel in Kauai. :-)
Wednesday night was an appreciation party for the approx. 45,000 people who attended the conference. That was a blast! It was a carnival on Treasure Island, full of free carnival games, Ferris wheel and lots of other rides. Also, several concerts, which included UB40, Elvis Costello, Alan Jackson, Seal. Ron and I decided to hang around and drink some complimentary wine and listen to Seal. Of course, Ron found the boiled shrimp and had his share of that and cotton candy! Sounds like a great combination, doesn't it?
Oh, and a surprise speaker at the sessions at the conference was Michael Phelps! That was fun.
We arrived home last night and went straight to bed. We slept 10 hours last night. The plan was to get up and go for a run since I haven't done anything in a week. That didn't happen! Before I knew it, it was time to meet some friends at SouthPark Mall for a fun appearance by Clinton Kelly, with 'What Not To Wear'. I ask Ron to call while I was working in SanFran, and see if he could get me tickets for the show. He was able to get 4 tickets, so Katherine, Stanage, and myself went to the show. Gina was going to go, but called me on the way to the show and couldn't make it because she didn't feel well. It was a good afternoon with the girls. I don't see Stanage or Katherine much anymore, so it was so nice seeing them and catching up! Great "girls day".
Charlotte had another celebrity in town, Curtis Stone from "Take Home Chef", but I had no tickets for that event. :-( Too bad, I would have enjoyed that show was well!
