Sister's Gathering

My sister's and I decided that we needed to have a sister's gathering.  We usually take trip to interesting places, but too much has happened this year and we decided that we just needed to get together.  So, San Francisco sounded like a good place to do that.  On Friday, we did a walking tour of "City Scapes and Public Places" in downtown San Francisco.  It was fun and we had a great tour guide that gave us lots of San Francisco history. On Saturday, we did a bit of shopping in Berkeley and then Laurel joined us to see "Beach Blanket Babylon" in San Francisco.  That is one of my must see San Francisco shows.  I think we all enjoyed the wild and crazy musical. Sue and Betty also got to meet Ananda. That was important since he is almost a member of the family.  On Sunday we went to church to hear our new pastor preach his first sermon and then went to Eric and Venny's house.  They cooked us a wonderful dinner.  Check out Venny's amazing dessert below.  Then we viewed the solar eclipse from their back yard.  Check out the picture below that shows the reflection of the eclipse in as it shines though the tree in their backyard.  That was totally fun and amazing.  On Monday, we did outlet shopping, Betty and toured the Jelly Belly Factory and then Sue drove home and I dropped Betty at the airpot.  It was a fun weekend and we certainly plan to do another one soon. SISTER'S!  It's a good thing!
