For Christmas, I told Scott that the only thing I wanted was to go visit my best friend, Jenny. Well, much to my surprise, he did it! With some help from my sister, he booked the flight and got a hold of Jenny and everything. So, I flew up on a Friday evening and came home on Monday afternoon. I met Jenny in 7th grade PE when we were both 12. We sat next to each other because, at the time, she was Jenny Scott and I was Kelly Thorpe and we were seated in alphabetical order. So, yes, we've known each other for almost 22 years. And we've been through ALOT together!! So, this is Jen and me on our first morning after breakfast. We went to a really great place right on the beach.
Then one night we went to The Cheesecake Factory on top of Macy's at Union Square. On the right is Jen's husband, Lee. I don't know why I am so bug-eyed. I think it's because in the first picture the flash didn't go off and I was trying not to blink, but Jen and Lee look good........I had a wonderful time and Scott and I are hoping to get back up there this summer together.

These are the views from the outside seating at Taco Bell in Pacifica, where Jen lives. Not too bad, huh?? I love Taco Bell, but this made it even better!

So, Jenny and I went to Ghiradelli Square for free chocolate, but we ended up seeing one of the oddest things I'd ever seen. As we were walking, we saw the two guys in the top picture with a big microphone and a video camera.
Then we saw the guy to the very right of the above picture....in a leather mask, "hiding" in the bushes. I was able to get some video, but it's not wanting to post, so I'll keep trying. Basically, we think they were recreating The Bushman over at FIsherman's Wharf. So, we see the video guy talk to a few people and then he talks to this man (all the way to the left, above) who is walking with two young girls (I'd asume, his daughters and probably 2 and 4 years old). So, they all get set, man in bushes, mike guy, video guy and the man with his two daughers. The man walks around the bend and is videotaped as the masked guy jumps out and "scares" him. However, no one seemed to explain any of this to his kids, especially the youngest, who is terrified and SCREAMS after her dad yells, "What the...." And it's not a bad word, that's all he said. Well, it was odd and funny, but also a bit sad because, as I said a few times in the video, if that little girl's mom had been there, no way masked guy would have been allowed to jump out..... Sorry guys!
