If I could build the perfect day, it would definitely involve seafood and chocolate.  Thank heavens for Pier 39 and it's neighbor Ghirardelli, as my dreams came true.  Yeah, I've been to both places several times, but I got to do it with my man and my kid and that made the experience ten times sweeter.  Clam chowder and sourdough and chocolate peppermint sundaes, oh my!  We probably should have walked back to Union Square after eating all of that, but it was freezing, so we wussed out and took a cab after waiting for a cable car for 30 minutes.

Sorry for the random non-Pier 39 images at the bottom, but that car was just far too bitchin' to NOT photograph, AND one of my neighborhood besties is a chica named Natalie who is obsessed with antiques, so...that one was another shot that begged me to take it.  I gave it no mercy.  Karate Kid style.  Sweep the leg.

So...this is the last post of the year for me.  I'm slowly but surely working on a 2009 favorite images slideshow, but it will be done in 2010, peeps.  Gotta get my party on.  Nobody likes a boring photographer, right?
