It's Pretty Here

Our hotel:

The view from the front door.  Look!  A hill!  And a cable car!

The lobby:

This reminds me of the Muppet Show:

      

It's lovely. But I miss my crew at home.

Wow, that is really lovely. I don't want to go to Blogher. I think it would make me throw up too much. :) But I'd like to go there. To that hotel. With the hill and the trolley. With you know, people I already know who don't make me throw up at all.

Sorry you are homesick. I hope you are having fun.

I just clicked over to Bloglines thinking "Gosh, I hope Shannon has posted something." You did not disappoint. :-)

Can't wait to hear all about it.

[Kari]

it IS lovely....so nice, enjoy each moment...i'm sure they are missing you at home too! :)

[Nell @ Casual Friday Everyday]

How beautiful! Oh how I wish I could transport myself there real fast!

[Beth (A Mom's Life)]

What a wonderful hotel. So sorry you are missing your family. I hope you can still enjoy yourself.

Looking forward to hearing all about it.

WOW! Thanks for sharing these photos for us!

[suburbancorrespondent]

You are taunting us homebodies!

[Molly]

NICE! That one pic is totally Muppets.

It's nice to see a different place, and it makes the familiar all the more comforting when you get back.

[Rachel]

Beautiful! Can't wait to see more pics!

Beware old, wrinkly men heckling you from the balcony!

My, oh my, though - aren't you living the posh life :) No ants, no mice, mo rats :)

[Jenn]

That is totally the Muppets! I love that show!

[Karen {simply a musing blog}]

All that's missing are the two old judges. :)

LOL about the muppets. I don't think that was the "look" the hotel was going for.

I was at the SF Macys today (Union Square) and saw the Blogher signs showing you all where to go. I thought of you right away and wondered if you were a bit chilly in the July foggy weather. I was!! When
I passed by the hotel where you are staying and had an impulse to take a photo of the door man. Then I wondered what I would do with the picture of the silly door man in costume. Hope you get to talk to your family soon :)

[Nic]

Haha, thanks for bringing that "mah-nah-mah-nah" song in my head!

[Sharon]

Oh I would have loved to attend Blogher but I discovered the whole joy of Blogher only this year (yes I'm late). Any gathering of bright, progressive, socially conscious women is a good thing in my eyes. I hope you enjoy the event and that you're able to share your insight with us on the experience of meeting/listening to so many different blogging women.

Thanks for the pictures!

I agree--I can completely see Waldorf and Statler heckling all the hotel guests from that balcony!

Cable car is cool, too. Hills I have too many of here at home. I'm looking forward to moving to Illinois in a few years, where everything is FLAT!

[Kelly @ Love Well]

Family is better than the most beautiful place or thing.

[Mel]

What a great hotel. I would love to visit San Francisco sometime. Thanks for sharing the pix.

I'm not a huge California fan. I hope they do it near NYC next year! Glad you had a great time!

wow!! I have stayed there before. My aunt's husband is the manager there!! It is a beautiful place!

[Mrs. Sprinkles]

Man--that muppets pic makes me wish I could go to MGM Studios right now and watch the Muppet Show!

[Shannon]

Gorgeous pics!!!

[Faye]

What a gorgeous hotel!! Does it not make you feel like visiting Royalty?

[Jenn]

Yup, Muppet Show - totally :)

[Amy]

That is totally the Muppets. I wish I could have gone so I could meet you in person. I will definitely be there next year though- you all have convinced me with all your BlogHer talk :)

[Nana Connie]

You are so funny. First thing I think of when I fly to California is plane crashes and earthquakes, but I would never admit it.

Hope you had a great trip home.

[Photochick]

Those pictures are stunning - I hope you are having as wonderful of a time as you appear to be! I'm sure you miss your family though...

I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts & prayers... that all will go fantastically and that you'll blessed with a wonderful time... that you'll have safe travels... and that you & your family don't miss each other too terribly much.

Take care & God Bless.
Love, Amanda

[Jules]

These are lovely pics. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you had a wonderful time (I'm sure you did). It's fun to meet a lot of new people that share your interests, isn't it?

[amy]

[Angela]

That is where we stayed when we stayed over in SFO while I was a flight attendant! Isn't it great?!
I LOVED my SFO layovers - such a neat place. I hope you are enjoying the conference!

[jennielynn]

I looked and looked but never did find you. I am so sad. I guess I'll have to go next year too! ;)

[Colleen - Mommy Always Wins]

Beautiful! (Glad you commented about the Muppet Show because that's *exactly* what went through my mind when I saw the pic!)
