a three day weekend&#8230;.it was a good reminder why I love this city.  Linna and I flew Alaska Airlines down to Oakland airport which is just a 20 minute hop over to San Francisco.  We stayed at the Hilton hotel in the Union district; this area is close to highend shopping and walking distance to plenty of sightseeing.  We had dinner the first night at Jardiniere&#8217;s restaurant, this is a neighborhood hotspot and the dinner reviews were spot on, the place excelled.  <\/p>\n<p>Next day we met up with a friend at the Butterfly located in Embarcadero, this was more of a business casual dining&#8230;.but, I would definitley hit this spot again if I come back to this area again.  That night I had a craving for Italian food, so I picked Palio d&#8217; Asti which was a little more than a mile from our hotel.  I wanted to walk so we could do a little shopping along the way.  After living in Seattle for 15 years, the shopping is a little stale and every shop seems to offer the same things.  Palio d&#8217; Asti dishes were delicious, but the service was a little weird&#8230;.our server would never look at you when he spoke.  After dinner we hit a Chinese massage place to relax our feet after a long day of walking.  The foot massage was okay, but&#8230;.I would be looking for something better next time in San Francisco.  <\/p>\n<p>The last day was more shopping and we finished the day off at Scala&#8217;s Bistro in the heart of some major shopping.  I ended up with a couple of cool shoes and three new jeans and Linna ended up with three full bags of expensive apparel.  Our flight was delayed from Oakland to Seattle, so I wrote this blog up during three cold Stella&#8217;s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since I have been to San Francisco and after spending a three day weekend&#8230;.it was a good reminder why I love this city.
