Gingerbread House~Fairmont Hotel

Hello everyone,

Who doesn't love gingerbread? I love gingerbread, 

especially when it is made into a Gingerbread House.

On my recent trip to San Francisco in December 2017

Go Here

The beautiful lobby of the Fairmont Hotel is transformed at Christmas time, 

with the most beautiful Gingerbread House covering the entrance of the dining room. 

This experience has been on my bucket list for years.
The Gingerbread House is just amazing.

I am standing in front of the small tea room.
This room is reserved private dining for 12 persons.

Fairytale: The house has two floors, is 23 feet wide, 22 feet high and is stuck together entirely with icing. Visitors can wander through the ground floor level and into the hotel restaurant

I love the details.

The train circles the Gingerbread House.

We made memories on this trip. There are so many great treasures in

the City of San Francisco.  Visiting at Christmas time is a bonus.

Thanks for visiting,

Joyously,

Betty

Girls Trip to San Francisco

Hello everyone,

I am so excited to share my trip to San Francisco a couple 

of weeks ago.  We started out adorned with our new hats I knitted.

I took the back seat with my granddaughter called "The Bookworm."

And gave the driving duty to my daughter. My granddaughter in the front seat

 is the GPS professional. We live about four hours from the city, and 

once we cross the Bay Bridge, Beth helps her mother maneuver 

the city streets of San Francisco.  Our first stop was San Francisco

State University for a two-hour tour. The bookworm is applying 

to colleges in California, and she wanted to see the campus.

After the college tour, we checked into our hotel.

In the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel is the most beautiful 

Christmas Tree. 

Also in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel is a Giant Gingerbread House.

I will share a post about the Gingerbread House, later this week.

If you haven't been to San Francisco during the holiday season, 

I would suggest you put it on your bucket list.

I have wanted to visit the city at Christmas for over 50 years.

The girls were so wonderful to share my experience.

We walked to Union Square to see the Christmas tree.

And checked out Macy's windows decorated with 

real wreaths hanging from every window.

The palm trees were lite with sparkling lights and the Ice skating rink 

was busy with skaters enjoying an unseasonably warm evening.

The next morning we spent the day at the Academy of Science and

the de Young museum.

The Fairmont Hotel is on Nob Hill, and it was a gorgeous day

to be a tourist. 

Please check back in a few days and I will have the rest of my visit to 

San Francisco ready for viewing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Betty
