SF Holiday Lights Tour

A few days before Christmas we took a Christmas lights tour of San Francisco on a double decker bus!  It was one of those impulse Groupon purchase I thought would be fun and festive for the holidays...and it was so much fun, especially since our pastor and his family joined us.  The bus hit all the touristy spots we really never go so it was neat to see all the unique decoration around our great city.

But it was cold!  It had been pouring rain the entire day, clearing up just before we departed, so the air was damp and sooo cold!  Luckily they served hot chocolate and cookies on board the bus!  Then we were off on our tour...first stop, the Embarcadero Center...

The Hyatt Regency Embarcadaro had the most amazing decorations I've ever seen.  We got off the buss and this is the lobby!  These thousands of lights were just stunning.  And the largest snow village on the west coast.  This was just small section of the huge display.

The lovely Blackwell Family...baby Alley Beth is just three months old.

 Various holiday lights around SF...Fisherman's Warf, City Hall, Girahdelli Square, etc...

 Did I mention it was cold?  More hot chocolate for Cameron and Timo snuggling with Daddy to keep warm.

We finished our tour Downtown and it was really beautiful as well...the Neiman Marcus indoor tree and the Union Square tree.  Love this beautiful city, especially during the hoidays!!
