I left my heart in San Francisco

Scott and I took a trip to San Francisco over October break to celebrate his 40th birthday. We did all of the touristy things and wore ourselves out! Our highlights include visiting Alcatraz and enjoying a fascinating audio tour. On our 2nd day we went to Giants stadium and enjoyed a behind the scenes tour. We also went to see the classic musical South Pacific. Our last day we rented a tandem bike and rode to and across the Golden Gate Bridge. What an exhilarating and sometimes frightening trip that was! We ended our trip with lunch at the Boudin Cafe where the most delicious sourdough bread is baked and squeezed in a very quick visit to Ghiradelli Square for some chocolate~!

Our friends Agustin and Christina flew in from Long Beach on our second day and added to our fun. We have some hilarious memories to recall and are starting to plan for the next 40th bday celebration. (That would be MINE!!)



Day 1 ~ We were on Alcatraz island on a relatively rare clear day.




Day 2 ~ We were at the Giants Stadium and enjoyed going in the dugout and onto the field. We of course all "HATE" the Giants and always cheer for the D'backs or Dodgers over the Giants. We did keep any nasty comments to ourselves and enjoyed being at their stadium.





Day 3 ~ We set out on our tandem bike to reach the Golden Gate Bridge. It was gorgeous and I was extremely happy to have made it. We took a break in the middle of the bridge to snap a picture and catch our breath.

We could have done so much more but ran out of time. I definitely left my heart in San Francisco and can't wait to visit again!
