Tonight we had Ivy and Oli's rehersal dinner up in the City. It's been a while since I've gone into San Francisco, and I really miss it. Driving through Embarcadero, the Pier, and Fisherman's Wharf brought back so many fond memories. It was such a crisp clear night, and I felt like a kid in a candy store....my eyes lit up at all the sights and smells.
Wil yelled at me: "Roll up the window, Peg! It's freezing!" Wing laughed at me for being such a tourist, and for taking so many pictures from the car. *Sheesh, peoples!* I love San Francisco! Especially now that I'm living in such a quiet cookie-cutter town, I realize it lacks a certain "flavor" and diversity.

Dinner was at The Mandarin, in Ghirardelli Square. Food was excellent!...as well as the company! =)

The highlight of the evening was getting wedding-party gifts from Ivy and Oli. It was by far the coolest and most generous wedding-party gift I've ever received! Ivy and Oli got all 12 of us Xooter scooters from The Sharper Image! Crazy, huh? A bunch of us took the scooters outside and zipped around Ghirardelli Square...until we got scolded by a security guard. hehehehe
