The weather had turned really cold with rain showers but we were lucky as it didn't rain while we were in the city. However it was quite cold even though it was only 4:30 pm when we met. So we wandered about looking at all the decorations which was quite festive.
The city was very crowded with lots of people out and about. The sidewalks were so crowded you could hardly walk and we had to wait for a turn to look at the window displays at Macy's. Lots of traffic as well so we were glad that we took BART into the city.
We went into Nieman Marcus to look at the huge tree they have in their foyer and all of the other decorations in the store. We had a wander through the store and then decided to go on to the Grand Cafe where we had dinner reservations even though we were a bit early. Since it was so cold we didn't want to wander any more.
Our dinner reservation was for 6:15 pm and we arrived at 5:45 pm and they were able to seat us right away. So we had a wonderful dinner. We shared 2 different desserts which topped off dinner and the evening.
We left the restaurant about 7:30 pm heading for BART and the city was still buzzing with traffic and people. But we had a great time and are looking forward to next year when we can meet again to maybe go to a show and dinner afterwards to celebrate Christmas together.
Merry Christmas Sue, Jon, and Jacob...
