Gary and I went to San Francisco this weekend. We had a great time, but we didn’t have enough time to do everything we wanted to do.
I did manage to get an earlier flight so I got there shortly before noon. We headed for Golden Gate Park and the ocean. We found a cool restaurant with a view of the ocean for lunch. Afterwards, we strolled down the beach, however it was really foggy and visibility was not very good. We ventured out for the evening via the subway and then cable cars to go to Chinatown for dinner. The cable cars are certainly a unique experience.
Sunday we went to Fisherman’s Wharf area and rented bikes. We biked across the Golden Gate Bridge and then on to Sausalito and Tiburon – about 16 miles according to the map. (I did really miss my computer on my bike). We had lunch in a cute café in Sausalito. We took a ferry back from Tiburon, going right past Alcatraz. It was a fun day. For dinner we went to a nice restaurant near the hotel.
Monday we headed to Muir Woods – a Redwood forest, via the “49 mile scenic route”. The drive was nice and the forest was very pretty. It would have been nice to have more time there, but we were then off to the airport to catch our flight home.
It was a really fun trip though and it will be nice to return sometime to hit the rest of the city that we didn’t have time for.
