I'm going to take a trip up north
and see the city lights,
where some people leave their hearts
and the golden sun does shine.

I plan to ride the cable cars and see the sights downtown
and take a ferry ride, across the bay to Alcatraz.
In case the men in their white coats
ever come for me someday
I'll have a general idea
of the inside of a padded cell.

I've never broke the law
or been held under suspicion.
So I've not a  single explanation
for this quirky fascination.

Across the bridge we'll travel to the town of Sausalito
and pack ourselves a picnic
filled with cheese and wine for sippin'.
We'll reminisce about the good old days
and let our memories do the trippin'.

What makes this getaway so special
is the time that I'll be spending,
and the making of new memories
with my ever loving sisters.

SEA~ Lord knows I need a vacation and
who better to take one with than those who
know me best.  Thanks

Floria~ That was so nice of you to say.
I just hope the jailers don't see me comin'.

Noah~ Thanks, I think the ferry ride across the bay will be worth the trip.  Something about being out on the water that
agrees with me.

Victoria~ Yes, we go way back with out sisters don't we?   I'm sure we'll have a grand old time, how could we not!!
*huggers*

Wayout~ Hey thanks, yea we'll be doing
the sister act, no doubt we have it down pat.

Brian~ We'll eat drink and be merry and maybe even paint the town while we're at it.
It's nice to hear from you, and thanks for reading.

James~ A change of scenery will do me good, not mention the pleasure of their company.
We'll all be talking at once trying to get a word in edgewise.  
Thanks.

Larry~  You know, I'm going to miss that bump of yours.  
I mean it!  Thanks you.

Tracey~  Righto, I just want to see the place, doing time is not part of the plan.
Maybe I can work a deal with the warden and he'll let me off easy.     
Thank you.
