Well we ended up not making it to UC Davis. It was too long of a drive to see another school that I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like. So we spent the time in San Francisco. Wednesday night when we arrived, we only had time for dinner. So we walked to The Cheesecake Factory in Macy's. That Macy's was amazing! It was 7 stories high! So we had a 20 minute wait for dinner and ended up buying Nikki a pair of jeans and Ali a pretty hair clip. We were really looking forward to spending the next day in a shopping bliss when the store employee told us they'd be closed for Thanksgiving. Huh?? Why didn't we consider that as a possibility? Here we'd been so excited to shop all day. We had a nice time anyway. We had breakfast on the 36th floor of our hotel, then walked to the movie theatre. The girls and I watched one movie (The Social Network) and the boys watched another (Unstoppable). Then we all met up and the kids went ice skating. We headed back to the hotel for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.
Friday, the girls wanted to shop. But I had to break it to them that I DON'T do black Friday. I can't stand crowds and I never find anything I like on sale anyway. So we got up, checked out and went to Gott's. It's the former Taylor's Refresher that Bill and I ate at several times while in Napa. We had burgers, fries and oreo shakes at 11:30 in the morning. It was the perfect way to end our fabulous trip! We had a great time and got some good college info. We'll still have to find a few more schools that aren't such a reach to get into, but it's definitely a start.
