My girlfriends and I got a great groupon for the Opera and had a dress up night. The Opera Building is a site to see on its own! Come early so you have time to walk around the building and see all the views. Pick an Opera of your choice, and wear your fancy shoes. Some people dress in black tie, and others wear jeans so you can choose. And don't worry if you can't understand Italian, apparently these days Opera's come with subtitles.

An awesome concert in Golden Gate Park. Even if you don't like bluegrass, it is a great time. And its free! Grab a six pack and a blanket and make your way in the afternoon. Set up camp in front of a stage. There are lots of food options but the best part is you can bring your own. Must see!

One of the biggest events in San Francisco, the city pretty much explodes with fun. The weekend started because the military takes their leave in the city for the weekend. It is now called Fleet Week. Soldiers, beer, and fly overs from the Blue Angels. This year it was also America Cup trials, so it was a bit of a disaster. The best seat in the house is down by the water, either on the Marina Green or at Fisherman's wharf. The jets are so loud that you may jump out of your seat!

Christmas is THEE best holiday of the year. Every year Macy's decorates their store and Union Square. On Black Friday they have a big tree lighting ceremony with Carolers and a count down to the lights. It is a bit like Disneyland, and I would only recommend if you have kids with you. Its VERY crowded. But for those not into Tree Lighting Ceremonies, visit Macy any other day and see the puppies and kitties they put in their window. Too cute for words, AND if you love them you can adopt them! Macy's works with SPCA to help these poor animals find a home for the holidays.
