The San Francisco Treat

Brian returned to his home in Korea, and I fled Los Angeles as well. It was time for a little family vacation to San Francisco. My cousin's son was getting baptised, so used that as an excuse to venture north. It was also my sister's 21st birthday. A few years ago we had planned to go to New Orleans, because when we went previously we had to leave my sister alone with the television when we went out at night. Well, Hurricane Katrina pummeled those dreams and we escaped to Napa instead.

Example
We flew from Burbank to Oakland, rented a car, and headed towards our hotel in the Embarcadero.
