My 20 year old niece, Allison and her boyfriend Matty flew out from Virginia for a visit. The California sun has always been a draw for Allison, even though on most summer visits, the beach sun is shrouded by fog. But her weather timing was good this year. The sun was out in Santa Cruz and at Coyote Lake.

After staying a few days with me, I drove to them to San Francisco. First stop was Treasure Island to view the cityscape.

Then Chinatown for lunch

and checking out the stores

By the time we arrived at Ghirardelli Square, the sun had disappeared, but we were pretty much done for the day anyway.

They stayed over for another day of touring the City.
