Sorry for the delay. I had written this awhile ago, but just haven't been able to post it. Last weekend was President's Day Weekend AND Valentine's Day Weekend!!!! And this year, I have a Valentine!!! And if you haven't caught on to me mentioning who he is on my blog, it's Awsome!! Don't worry i'm not going to give you ALL the details of this past weekend, but of course I have to mention the highlights. You know....to give you single fools and couples out there some ideas for your future dates.

We had stayed at the Chancellor Hotel in Union Square, which is somewhat like a bed and breakfast although they have a restaurant/bar downstairs for you to eat at. We checked in, checked out our room, which had a view of the new remodeled Union Square and of course CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!! Oh by the way, for you superstitious peeps out there, this hotel has a 13th FLOOR!!! OMG! Thank god our room was on the 11th Floor!!! So we head downstairs for dinner and it was in this small dining area where I believe there were only 2 other couples there. A very quiet dinner, as if Awsome and I were the only ones in the room. I loved it!! We had a 3 course dinner and by the time our entree got there, I was pretty full. Oh..and I did not fill up on the bread!!!! buahahhaha

To burn all that food off that we had just ate, we walked around Union Square, checkin out the nearby galleries, which I do have to say has some interesting artwork. Since I was in heels and have this fear of gettin caught in the grills in the sidewalk, I was constantly keepin an eye where I was walkin. And low and behold, we have our own Sidewalk of the Stars here in San Francisco. Unforutnately, I can't exactly tell you where it is, but it is I believe on the same street as the A.C.T. Theatre. I think???

After walkin for awhile, and my bladder edgin me on to hit up the CR, I suggested we stroll into the Westin St. Francis. This is the hotel which has the Victoria Secret connected to it!!! Can you picture the hotel now??? hee hee hee So we enter thru the revolving doors and low and behold there's a bar/lounge up this staircase to our left. We finally find the bathrooms, but then we heard "My Funny Valentine" being sung.. And Awsome of course felt drawn to it...but my bladder was callin...:-\ So after hittin the CR, the song was still playin and we hurried over to the lounge and found a spot on the dance floor. This was sooooooooo cool.

We pretty much parlayed here for the rest of the night listening to Bob Palpe and the Rose Trio and dancing or should I say, trying to keep up w/ Awsome on the dance floor. So if you guys love cruner music, which is along the lines of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Harry Connick Jr. etc... , then these guys are at the hotel usually 5 days a week. I would totally recommend seein them, but a lil forwarnin, the crowd that's usually loungin around are a lil older. I would say around 40's and up... So if you don't mind, then it's all goodie!!! I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend whether it was w/ a significant other, family, or friends. Valentine's Day is a day of appreciation and love for those you care about!
