Last weekend I had the pleasure of accompanying Annie to San Francisco, she was going to drive it to see her dad and so we were off. At first she didn’t think much of it, we’ll just go for the day or get back the next morning. However, she didn’t understand how much I love SAN FRAN, how could you be there and not enjoy the city? A girls weekend it was!
Technically, her dad lives right outside San Francisco in a small town called Moraga and it is so beautiful, in fact I told Annie “I could live here” it’s just that gorgeous, it has the woodsy feel, huge trees, up in the hills and very tranquil, but only 5 minutes away from a major city. Okay so back to our trip. We arrived that Friday in the late afternoon and visited with her dad. We then proceeded to a Travel Lodge by Fisherman’s Wharf, it was perfect and walking distance to it. We played it casual and just had Italian for dinner, yum then headed back to a dive bar three doors down from our hotel, mostly all locals, but small and great ambiance.
On our second day we decided to hit Chrissy Fields, the Coit Tower, North Beach it’s like little Italy and the Ferry Building for lunch, a must if in San Fran in that order. Luckily Annie had reward points and we were able to stay at the W for our second night, never a disappointment. That night we had to have sushi for dinner and we tried tuna belly for the first time, like butter in your mouth-so yummy! The drive back was long since we took the scenic route and stopped in Monterey Bay for lunch, but it was gorgeous and a great experience. While in San Fran we used a GPS system on Annie’s Droid and she was great, we named her Gidget. ;) I love northern CALI… I could seriously move there!
Thought she had the best bathing suit, so cute.
He was going to town digging, it was too funny!
I loved the fact that the dogs were allowed. Had so much fun just dog and people watching.
North Beach, fell in love with this church and it’s park right in the center of it all.
Didn’t get to eat here for breakfast, but will next time. A recommendation from Caroline.
Amazing view from the street by the Coit Tower.
I want to grow this in my patio.
Taken from the Coit Tower, it’s a really great 360 degree view.
Crooked Street on Lombard Street, just amazing and funny.
On Market street on our way to the Ferry Building.
Yes, Avatar… Annie thought it was the highlight of the trip.
Gorgeous, right? Annie, I had the best time… so glad we did this even if it wasn’t planned. Everything turned out great, considering! Oh and we totally make the perfect hotel roomies with our OCD’s and all-love you!
I had a blast…thanks for your company.
