San Francisco Trip














October 07 2005 - Kerry had two-way WestJet buddy passes for 4 people and we all decided to go to San Francisco for the Canadian Thanksgiving long-weekend. The trip was unpredictable, because we were in the waiting list, but in the end everything turned out to be just perfect! The weather was gorgeous (between 21C to 25C) and we had a lot of fun! Posted by Picasa
