A year ago...

A year ago, my Mom and I set off for the most amazing two week vacation. We flew from Pittsburgh to San Francisco where we stayed for 3 days and rode the cable cars, hiked from Coit Tower to Lombard Street, hung out in Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39, and saw "Jersey Boys" at the Curran theater. We definitely "left our hearts in San Francisco." From San Francisco, we flew to Kona, Hawaii and then on to Oahu, Hawaii where we spent 8 glorious days soaking up the rays on Waikiki Beach, hiking Diamond Head, driving around in our convertible just hoping to get lost (which we did - often), and an emotional trip to Pearl Harbor. It was the most amazing 8 days and we made memories that we will not soon forget. We hope to someday return to the "white sandy beaches of Hawaii." From Oahu, we flew to Los Angeles where we spent 3 days in Hollywood. We stayed near the Hollywood sign on Hollywood and Highland and enjoyed sightseeing and spotting celebrities. We attended a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, chartered a Hummer limo to cruise around Rodeo Drive and 90210, and enjoyed hot dogs at the famous "Pinks."
