SF Day 1: Golden Gate Park & Ghirardelli Square


Before I begin, HUGE shoutout and so many thanks to the amazing Lauren for letting me stay with her family during my trip to SF. Such a great mini-vacation and reward to the self for finishing my primary apps. :)

Wednesday, June 13th, 2012:
After the airplane fiasco in the morning during which my flight was delayed approx. 3 hours, I was so so so happy to make it to Lauren's house, see Lauren and her family and find myself still alive. Then...adventures commence! :D

Note: Since Picasa added more functions to their editing toolbox, I've found myself playing around with various filters... I pretend I can be artsy sometimes.


Lunch at a Thai restaurant near Lauren's place. The food was so good! (Or was I just famished from my flight fail...?)
Trip to the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park :)
What's a Tea Garden without trying some tea and mochi? 
Here begin a series of various shots from the lovely garden!
Japanese Gardens are seriously one of my favorites :D





Lauren on the bridge! :)
Katfu on the bridge :P



The Teahouse where we had our tea.
So many little waterfalls throughout the garden...love those too. :]
After the Japanese Tea Garden we checked out the Rose Garden nearby...hello  USC-colored rose!!
There were roses bigger than my fist T____T
Solitude= dead roses? D:
Frolicking through the flowers
Rose petal floor <3
Evening excursion: Ghirardelli Square! Walking distance from Lauren's house, which was awesome to say the least.
Ghirardelli Very Berry sundae.Too big (and sweet) for one person, so Lauren  and I shared. :) 
Chocolate-making machinery! 



Got picked up afterwards...not a good idea to walk around in the dark  probably, plus it was cold and windy ><
Smores cupcake from Kara's Cupcakes in Ghirardelli Square, complete with marshmallow frosting, chocolate cupcake middle part and graham cracker bottom. Om nom. :D
Day 2 to come soon. :)
