get your weekend on

The weather has been thoroughly delightful here lately. For a good part of the week, the temperatures reached the 80's. It was perfect for evening strolls and eating dinner outside.  I'm headed up to San Francisco and I hope the sun stays through the weekend .. I'm actually praying! There are a few fun things going on in the City this weekend, maybe you should make it a round trip and stay for a mini vacation to experience them all.

Happy Friday!!
