Cheesecake Factory

Do you know that common folk in San Francisco can't get a reservation at the Cheesecake Factory? They don't take 'em. But if you know the right people at the Hilton, they can get you on a secret priority list. Crazy. Well, we met the right person at our hotel and easy breezy, we had a table in a snap. The wait was 1 1/2 to 2 hours, but not for us. We were in our booth in 20 minutes. On a Saturday, during a holiday weekend, at 7! Whoo hoo!

As we waited for our food we snapped some pictures of us goofing around. Sydney was having way too much fun with her scarf! I swear she should be an actress! She looks so international!

Poor hungry souls
The King Tut look

After dinner we went downstairs to Macy's and landed right in the middle of the Christmas floor. Oh brother, that is a dangerous place for me and my mom. We escaped with only two ornaments and two stockings. Not too bad!

Sydney had a fun time playing ranger to these bears.

She made me take this picture.

I think she could have played with these bears

all night if we would have let her!
