Jeggings on Solano

What Zachary's looks like from outside (not my photo)
I arrived at Zachary's Chicago Pizza, literally my favorite pizza place, on Solano Ave. to find Cammie waiting for everyone else outside. Not even 5 minutes after, we were joined by Ms. Hansen and Maddie. We decided to head inside and grab a table until Evan arrived. It was probably our first time having a really long conversation with each other, so as it always is it was a little awkward at first.

Soon enough, Evan walked into Zachary's as well and joined in on the conversation. We didn't really know what to order just yet, but we figured out we're all open to just about everything since no one is vegan or vegetarian. Because the ILC is wonderful and pays for these meet and greet dinners, we treated ourselves to some salad before the pizza. Ms. Hansen ordered a half order of Garden Salad and Evan agreed to split a full Caesar Salad with me.

By unanimous decision, we got the Spinach and Mushroom deep dish pizza, with chicken added and the basil tomato sauce instead of the regular one. The wait for the pie was filled with interesting conversation ranging from Studio Ghibli films to classic cars. Everyone shared some kind of story, which was really nice.

My delicious slice of pizza
The pizza arrived and I was very pleased as always; I don't think it's possible to go wrong with one of Zachary's deep dish pizzas. The playlist they had on was mostly 80's and 70's music, making the atmosphere so much better. The art that's on display throughout the small restaurant is always amazing to look at as well. The waitress was also really nice to take a picture for us, as seen on the other posts, after Evan so casually asked.

After being incredibly satisfied by the pizza, we decided to stop by Greetings. It's a really cute hole in the wall kind of greeting card store, among other things. We amused ourselves by looking at socks with all kinds of designs and adorable cat greeting cards. Ms. Hansen bought 2 paper doll books as a gift for two little girls, which was totally incredible. I didn't know they still sold paper dolls. 

We then walked up to Indian Rock, since Maddie had never been there and the view is beautiful from up there. This was also Maddie's first time at Zachary's so we're really doing some life changing here. At Indian Rock we realized we should've saved the pizza to bring up there. There were several people who brought Cheese Board Pizza up or some burritos. We were up there for a while, taking totally model type photos and talking about the fashion trends that have come up.

Had to squat a little closer to actually look like I was part of the group
As one might be able to tell from our blogs, a hot topic at Indian Rock was portmanteaus. Apparently, denim skirts are in, which Maddie called Jirts. Then we thought about jeggings, joots, and jorts. It was certainly an insightful time up at Indian Rock accompanied by an amazing view of both the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate. We wanted to stay until sunset, but it was getting a little too late for us

I'm really looking forward to departure day with these 4 and the adventurous time we'll have in Nashville and Philadelphia..
