Our recent, first trip to San Francisco lavished beautiful vistas upon us like sprinkles on ice cream. The view from our ninth-floor hotel room was spectacular in the brilliant sunshine, and in the dark of night, lit up like a forest of Christmas trees. The view of the deep blue Pacific Ocean from The Cliff House restaurant was breathtaking. The waves crashing against the boulders kept us mesmerized through the entire meal with our son and daughter-in-law, now San Fran residents.
My hubby and I are now back home with our recent memories and our own room with a view, our living room!
