So we went to San Francisco this past weekend and it was amazing!! If you have not ever been there it is a must see. First we rented bikes and went across the golden gate bridge, it was the most beautiful bike ride I have ever been on. We went over to Sausalito and had some great food and walked around the town. We got some great salt water taffy!. Then we went across the bay to San Francisco on the ferry. There were sea lions and dolphins everywhere, I couldn't believe it. When we got back to SF Jacob has to have some in and out burger so we had that before heading back to the apt to clean up. That night we ate at Scoma's on fisherman's wharf, highly recommend, best seafood in town!! That night went to the bar that they invented Irish coffee's. They tasted so bad, Jacob drank both mine and his but at least now we can say that we have tried the "original Irish coffee" :) After that we went to Ghirardelli and had a chocolate sundae. That was all day one!!! Here are my our pics.. Oh and I'm pretty sure in just day one I gained like 10 pounds...lol
Day two started out perfect. We rented a BMW and ate breakfast at the cliff house. The first Cliff House was a modest structure built in 1863, then they upgraded to a castle(well it looked like one) then in 1894 a fire burned it down and they rebuilt it to what it is today. You will see it in my pictures. Anyway the food there is amazing... as is most the food in SF!! It is very rich so get your stomachs ready!! Its so pretty because they seat you by the window and your over the water and you see all the marine life. They said that in November the whales come and are easily seen. So if you are ever there in November eat at the cliff house. There is a long beach right next to the cliff house and there surfers out in water. The waves were huge. After the cliff house we went drove around the city and visited the "full house" house and the park around it. There is a place where people bring their shoes and plant something in it, it was very strange. We also drove around golden gate park and it is beautiful! We also went to hippieville... Haight and Ashbury district, it was pretty cool to see as well. That night we went to an A's game over in Oakland. They lost but it was still fun to see. Ron got us seats on row 15 it was awesome!
Day three was also great!! First Ron made us breakfeast then we headed out to the farmers market!! It was so much fun. We tried all kinds of sample's if I lived there I would buy all of my fruit and veggies there, they are so fresh! Then we went to union square and to the mall and walked around. I had to get some shopping in while I was there :) Then we went took the muni down to the best chinese food place i have ever been to. It is so good that the locals like to keep it a secret. then we went off to the beach. We stayed at the beach for a while and got some cool pics. The water was soooo cold!! Then we headed back to town to get ready for dinner and wicked!!! We had dinner at this Itialian place that served "real" itialian food it was amazing. We then went to wicked, it was an awesome play and the theater itself was something cool to see. Even Jacob and Ron liked it!!
Day four was time to go home :( but we will forsure be back I think Jacob and I would love to live there one day... maybe in the near future :) We are going to go back in May for the bay to bridge run... i will post more stuff on it as it gets closer.
Thank you Ron for such an amazing trip. You really made it special for us and we love you very much!!! Let me just say San Francisco has the BEST FOOD of anywhere I have ever been!!! I now am 20 pounds heavier....haha j/k
