Sentinel received its National School of Character award during a wonderful lunch yesterday afternoon. What a great experience to get to see them accept it, and what an honor to have a school from little old Tiffin, Ohio, be recognized nationally. Sentinel was the only school from Ohio honored. I'm so proud!
After yesterday's conference activities, we headed out again down Embarcadero. This time, we went to the area of Fisherman's Wharf to do some shopping and get dinner. We saw this HUGE group of bicyclists dressed in Halloween costumes. We were told that it was called Critical Mass. None of us knew what that was. It turns out it's a group that gets together once a month to ride in support of bicyclists' rights. Interesting!! You will see a picture of that below.
It was much easier to find a restaurant that wasn't packed compared to Friday, when the World Series was going on and we stumbled upon a mediocre restaurant that happened to be California's oldest. Last night, we stopped at Hard Rock Cafe and ended up eating at Wipeout Bar and Grill. It was fantastic! We ate outside on the boardwalk. STUNNING! We did some shopping (I finally got my Giants shirt) and saw the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz from a distance.
Speaking of Alcatraz, we are headed there today! Hmmm...you might be saying. Jill was flying out today? Well, late last night, I changed my flight and am staying another day. This city is just too awesome and I'm not ready to leave! I felt like there was so much more to do before I headed back. I don't know if/when I'll ever come back. So, now I won't be home until Sunday. Today's agenda includes going to Alcatraz and going across the Golden Gate Bridge.
I'm pretty tired today. About 2:30 a.m. SF time, the entire hotel had to evacuate! It turns out there was a (small?) fire at a shop near our hotel so the fire alarms activated. Nuts!
Love to all!
