The San Francisco Treat
Andre and I spent Labor Day weekend in San Francisco to celebrate our 10th anniversary. I had originally wanted to go to, well, Belize, but instead we bought a house. What can you do? San Francisco was excellent, though, especially b/c we now have a direct flight from Pasco...makes going down on Friday and coming back Monday totally worth it! And, did I mention that it was CHEAP?!
Play-by-Play...
FRIDAY: We arrived, rode BART to our hotel, checked in, walked 6 blocks to an AMAZING dinner at Saha. Definitely recommend it to everyone I know. During the 6 blocks there (uphill) I remember saying several times that we were definitely taking a cab back. However, we were so full after dinner that the walk back to the hotel was necessary. And it was downhill.
SATURDAY: Went to Museum of Modern Art, some "special" motorcycle store that I can't spell the name of, Chinatown (biggest Chinatown outside of China), and then rode BART out to Fremont to visit Heather and Colin. They made us an amazing dinner and we got to see their new place...it was great to visit! Then we rode BART back into the city and went back to the hotel. I am getting so old...we got back around 12:30 or so and I was SO tired.
SUNDAY: Met and visited with nice British couple while we waited for the cable car. Had to hit up an In-N-Out Burger, so we went to Fisherman's Warf for lunch. Went on a 1 hour cruise in SF Bay (out to Golden Gate bridge and back), hit the aquarium (nothing to really write home about, but cool), back to the hotel to drop stuff off, cabbed it to Pier 33 to catch our Alcatraz Tour Boat. Alcatraz tour was awesome--so interesting! After 2 hours there, we came back to SF, went to North Beach (Little Italy) for dinner...ate at one of the only places still open, Calzone's, and it was tasty.
MONDAY: Shopped. Yes, we stayed in the shopping area of SF (Union Square). We should've just flown home in the morning b/c we would've saved a lot of money. Oh well. It was fun. We rode BART to the airport around 5 and were home about 9:45...collected the girls from Mom & Tom, got home around 10:45...and went to the work the next day. UGH. I was tired...
